Servers

Connect to local, remote, or cloud opencode servers.

Servers is where CDE connects to local, remote, or cloud opencode servers, manage them from Settings → Application → Servers.

An opencode server is the backend CDE talks to for a given workspace. Which kind you use depends on where your work actually runs:

KindUse it when
LocalYou're developing on your own machine and want CDE to talk to the opencode server already running there
RemoteYour team runs its own opencode server on infrastructure you manage, and you want CDE to connect to it directly
CloudYou want to work without any local setup, ORGN hosts the server for you (for example, an active trial sandbox)

Each entry in the list shows a name, its connection address, and a status:

  • A local entry points at 127.0.0.1 and a port. CDE auto-detects the opencode server running on your machine, no manual address entry needed
  • A cloud entry (like an active trial) connects through ORGN's hosted infrastructure and shows an Active status badge once connected

Adding a server

Use Add server to connect an additional local, remote, or cloud opencode server, for example to point CDE at a teammate's machine, a shared team server, or a second cloud sandbox, without disconnecting the one you're already using.

This is a different setting from Extensions → MCP, which configures external tool servers for agents rather than the opencode compute backend itself.
