Read Audio

OpenCode plugin that adds a read_audio tool for analyzing, describing, comparing, transcribing, or answering questions about local audio files with OpenRouter audio-capable chat models.

The MVP uses OpenRouter Chat Completions with raw base64 input_audio parts. It does not call direct audio URLs and does not use the transcription-only endpoint.

Install

After publishing/installing from npm, add the package to your OpenCode config:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": ["@makcimbx/opencode-read-audio"]
}

For local development, build the package and use an absolute file URL to dist/index.js instead:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": ["file:///absolute/path/to/opencode-read-audio/dist/index.js"]
}

Then quit and restart OpenCode. Plugin/config changes are loaded only at startup.

Build

bun install
bun run build

Authentication

Set an OpenRouter API key:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY=<openrouter-api-key>

Alternatively, configure the existing OpenCode openrouter provider:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "openrouter": {
      "options": {
        "apiKey": "<openrouter-api-key>",
        "model": "xiaomi/mimo-v2.5",
        "baseURL": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Optional environment variables:

OPENROUTER_MODEL=xiaomi/mimo-v2.5
OPENROUTER_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1

Defaults:

• Model: xiaomi/mimo-v2.5
• Base URL: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1

The plugin also looks for OpenCode auth/config values under the openrouter provider when available.

Tool

Tool name: read_audio

Arguments:

• files: one or more local audio file paths, relative to the OpenCode project directory unless absolute.
• prompt: what to do with the audio files.
• model: optional OpenRouter model override for this call.

Example:

read_audio({
  files: ["recordings/interview.wav", "recordings/noisy-take.mp3"],
  prompt: "Compare these recordings and summarize speech clarity, background noise, and notable differences.",
})

Supported input formats: wav, mp3, flac, m4a, ogg, webm, aac.

Model capabilities, accepted audio duration/size, and pricing are controlled by OpenRouter and the selected model/provider.
