You can add external tools to OpenCode using the _Model Context Protocol_, or MCP.

## Caveats
#### Caveats
When you use an MCP server, it adds to the context. This can quickly add up if
you have a lot of tools. So we recommend being careful with which MCP servers
you use.

Certain MCP servers, like the GitHub MCP server tend to add a lot of tokens and
can easily exceed the context limit.

### Authenticating
You can manually trigger authentication or manage credentials.
Authenticate with a specific MCP server:

Remove stored credentials:
```bash
opencode mcp logout my-oauth-server

```bash
opencode mcp auth sentry

This will open a browser window to complete the OAuth flow and connect OpenCode to your Sentry account.
Once authenticated, you can use Sentry tools in your prompts to query issues, projects, and error data.
