Event Push

An OpenCode plugin that forwards a configurable set of events to one or more URLs via HTTP POST.

Use it to integrate OpenCode with webhooks, logging pipelines, monitoring systems, or any custom backend.

Installation

Add the plugin to your opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": ["@dragonwize/opencode-event-push"]
}

OpenCode installs the package automatically at startup using Bun. The package lands in:

~/.cache/opencode/node_modules/opencode-event-push/

Configuration

The plugin reads opencode-event-push.json from two locations and merges them, mirroring how OpenCode itself handles its own config files:

Location	Purpose
~/.config/opencode/opencode-event-push.json	Global config — applies to every project
opencode-event-push.json in the project root	Project config — applies only to that project

Both files are optional. When both exist their targets arrays are concatenated — global targets come first, project targets are appended after them. This follows OpenCode's "merge, not replace" convention.

To get started with the global config, copy the bundled example and edit it:

cp ~/.cache/opencode/node_modules/@dragonwize/opencode-event-push/event-push.example.json \
   ~/.config/opencode/opencode-event-push.json

Then open the file and replace the placeholder URLs, events, and credentials.

Config schema

{
  "targets": [
    {
      "url": "https://your-endpoint.example.com/events",
      "events": ["session.idle", "session.error"],
      "retry": {
        "attempts": 3,
        "delayMs": 500
      },
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {env:MY_WEBHOOK_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  ]
}

targets (required)

An array of target objects. Each target is independent — it gets its own URL, event filter, retry policy, and headers.

Field	Required	Default	Description
url	yes	—	URL to POST events to
events	no	all events	Allowlist of event types to forward to this target. Omit or leave empty to receive all events.
retry.attempts	no	3	Maximum number of attempts (including the first try)
retry.delayMs	no	500	Base delay in ms between retries. Uses exponential backoff: delayMs * 2^attempt
headers	no	{}	Extra HTTP headers sent with every request to this target

Environment variable substitution

Any string value in either config file supports {env:VAR_NAME} substitution, matching the syntax OpenCode uses in its own opencode.json. The variable is replaced at startup with the value of the corresponding environment variable. If the variable is not set it is replaced with an empty string.

{
  "targets": [
    {
      "url": "{env:WEBHOOK_URL}",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {env:WEBHOOK_TOKEN}",
        "X-API-Key": "{env:API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  ]
}

This works in both the global config and the project config.

Multiple targets

Each target filters and delivers events independently. One slow or failing target does not block the others — all targets for a given event are pushed in parallel.

{
  "targets": [
    {
      "url": "https://webhook.example.com/opencode",
      "events": ["session.created", "session.idle", "session.error"],
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer secret1" }
    },
    {
      "url": "https://logging.example.com/ingest",
      "events": ["tool.execute.after", "file.edited"],
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "secret2" }
    },
    {
      "url": "https://catch-all.example.com/events"
    }
  ]
}

Available events

Any event from the OpenCode plugin API can be forwarded. Common ones:

Session: session.created session.updated session.deleted session.idle session.error session.status session.compacted session.diff

Message: message.updated message.removed message.part.updated message.part.removed

Tool: tool.execute.before tool.execute.after

File: file.edited file.watcher.updated

Permission: permission.asked permission.replied

Other: command.executed server.connected todo.updated lsp.updated lsp.client.diagnostics installation.updated tui.prompt.append tui.command.execute tui.toast.show shell.env

Payload format

Each event is POSTed as JSON with Content-Type: application/json. The payload is the raw event object from OpenCode, e.g.:

{
  "type": "session.idle",
  "sessionID": "abc123",
  "properties": { ... }
}

Testing

A test server is included that accepts incoming events and prints them live to the terminal with color-coded output.

Start the test server

bun run test-server.ts

By default it listens on port 34567. Pass an alternative port as the first argument:

bun run test-server.ts 9000

Point the plugin at it

Add a target to your ~/.config/opencode/opencode-event-push.json (the catch-all form with no events filter is most useful for testing):

{
  "targets": [
    { "url": "http://localhost:34567" }
  ]
}

Then start OpenCode normally. Events will appear in the test server terminal as they fire.

Send a test event manually

You can also POST events directly with curl to verify the server is running before starting OpenCode:

curl -X POST http://localhost:34567 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"session.idle","sessionID":"test","properties":{"title":"hello"}}'

Sample output

opencode-event-push test server
Listening on http://localhost:34567
Waiting for events…

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[2026-02-27 10:00:01.234]  #1  session.idle
  sessionID="abc123"  properties={"title":"My session"}
  {
    "type": "session.idle",
    "sessionID": "abc123",
    "properties": {
      "title": "My session"
    }
  }

Event types are color-coded by namespace: session.* (cyan), tool.* (yellow), message.* (magenta), file.* (green), permission.* (red).

Error handling

On a failed request the plugin retries with exponential backoff (500ms, 1000ms, 2000ms, …). After exhausting all attempts it logs a warn-level message via OpenCode's structured log — it does not throw or block the session in any way.

Local plugin usage

If you prefer to use this as a local file plugin rather than via npm, drop src/index.ts into .opencode/plugins/. The global config is still read from ~/.config/opencode/opencode-event-push.json and the project config from opencode-event-push.json in the project root.
