A Telegram bot that bridges messages directly to OpenCode โ€” an AI coding agent running on your machine

Project description

๐Ÿค– Telegram โ†’ OpenCode Bridge Bot

A lightweight Python bot that bridges your Telegram messages directly to OpenCode โ€” an AI coding agent running on your machine. Think of it as having Claude/GPT-powered coding assistance right in your pocket via Telegram.

โœจ Features

  • Direct OpenCode integration โ€” routes your messages to OpenCode's HTTP API
  • Persistent sessions โ€” conversations maintain context across messages
  • Session management โ€” create, switch, list, and share sessions
  • Model switching โ€” change AI models on the fly (/model)
  • Plan/Build modes โ€” toggle between read-only analysis and full execution
  • Smart formatting โ€” code blocks with syntax highlighting in Telegram
  • Auto message splitting โ€” handles responses longer than Telegram's 4096 char limit
  • Security โ€” whitelist-based access control + rate limiting
  • Workspace Switching โ€” Switching from one workspace to another

๐Ÿ“‹ Prerequisites

  1. Python 3.10+
  2. OpenCode CLI โ€” install via:
    npm install -g opencode-ai
    # or
    curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash
    
  3. Telegram Bot Token โ€” get one from @BotFather
  4. Your Telegram User ID โ€” send /id to the bot after setup, or use @userinfobot

๐Ÿš€ Quick Start

1. Clone & Install

cd telegram-opencode-bot
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Start OpenCode Server

In a separate terminal:

opencode serve --port 4096 --hostname 127.0.0.1

This starts the OpenCode HTTP API on localhost:4096.

3. Run the Bot

python bot.py
python bot.py --env (if u want to setup ur configuration later)

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Don't know your Telegram user ID? Start the bot with AUTHORIZED_USERS=0 temporarily, send /id to the bot, then update the .env with your real ID.

4. Chat!

Open Telegram, find your bot, and start asking! ๐ŸŽ‰
