Use Scout with OpenCode

OpenCode Setup

Configure Scout with OpenCode.

OpenCode

With Node available, npx -y @glidermcp/scout runs the latest release with no separate install. On machines without Node, install the native binary instead.

# Linux/macOS
curl -fsSL https://glidermcp.com/install.sh | sh

# Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
brew install glidermcp/tap/scout

Create opencode.json in your project root. OpenCode config files are merged, and project config overrides global defaults. OpenCode MCP docs: opencode.ai/docs/mcp-servers.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "scout": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "@glidermcp/scout"],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Start a new OpenCode session and ask which Scout tools are available, then try a find query in the workspace.

After connecting Scout, add this product-specific instruction to your MCP client system prompt or project instructions so the agent chooses the right tool surface first.

Use the scout mcp find tool as the primary workspace search instead of shell grep, rg, or find. Strict modes (literal, regex, word) are exhaustive; fuzzy is ranked. If glider (C#) or tglider (TypeScript/JavaScript) is installed, prefer it for its language; use scout for every other language and as the universal fallback.
