title: Server
description: Interact with opencode server over HTTP.
---
import config from "../../../config.mjs"
export const typesUrl = `${config.github}/blob/dev/packages/sdk/js/src/gen/types.gen.ts`
The `opencode serve` command runs a headless HTTP server that exposes an OpenAPI endpoint that an opencode client can use.
---
### Usage
```bash
opencode serve [--port <number>] [--hostname <string>]
```
#### Options
| Flag | Short | Description | Default |
| ------------ | ----- | --------------------- | ----------- |
| `--port` | `-p` | Port to listen on | `4096` |
| `--hostname` | `-h` | Hostname to listen on | `127.0.0.1` |
---
### How it works
When you run `opencode` it starts a TUI and a server. Where the TUI is the
client that talks to the server. The server exposes an OpenAPI 3.1 spec
endpoint. This endpoint is also used to generate an [SDK](/docs/sdk).
:::tip
Use the opencode server to interact with opencode programmatically.
:::
This architecture lets opencode support multiple clients and allows you to interact with opencode programmatically.
You can run `opencode serve` to start a standalone server. If you have the
opencode TUI running, `opencode serve` will start a new server.
---
#### Connect to an existing server
When you start the TUI it randomly assigns a port and hostname. You can instead pass in the `--hostname` and `--port` [flags](/docs/cli). Then use this to connect to its server.
The [`/tui`](#tui) endpoint can be used to drive the TUI through the server. For example, you can prefill or run a prompt. This setup is used by the opencode [IDE](/docs/ide) plugins.
---
## Spec
The server publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 spec that can be viewed at:
```
http://<hostname>:<port>/doc
```
For example, `http://localhost:4096/doc`. Use the spec to generate clients or inspect request and response types. Or view it in a Swagger explorer.
