How OpenCode compares to other AI coding tools and where Oh My OpenCode fits

If you're evaluating OpenCode against other AI coding tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.), this page gives a high-level comparison. Oh My OpenCode is a plugin for OpenCode—it doesn't replace OpenCode or other tools; it makes OpenCode better for project-level workflows.

OpenCode: Open Source, CLI, Model-Agnostic

OpenCode is the open source AI coding agent (60K+ GitHub stars, 650K+ monthly users). It runs from the CLI, works with your editor, and connects to 75+ model providers (Claude, GPT, Gemini, etc.). You own your config and can script everything.

Oh My OpenCode adds an orchestration layer: agents (e.g. Sisyphus), hooks, MCPs (Context7, grep.app), and LSP defaults. See Oh My OpenCode vs plain OpenCode for the plugin-specific comparison.

Cursor and IDE-Centered Tools

Tools like Cursor bundle the editor and AI into one product. You get a cohesive UI and out-of-the-box completions. In exchange, you're in a specific IDE and vendor-controlled models.

OpenCode + Oh My OpenCode is different: editor-agnostic, model-agnostic, and scriptable. Many teams use both—Cursor for quick edits, OpenCode + Oh My OpenCode for big refactors and build-pipeline work. See OpenCode vs Cursor for a detailed comparison.

When to Choose OpenCode + Oh My OpenCode

  • You want open source and control over models and config
  • You work in monorepos or multi-repo setups with custom build steps
  • You need scriptable, automatable workflows (CLI, CI)
  • You want team-shared config (oh-my-opencode.json in the repo)
