Also forgot to mention that hangs are way more often, on all different models (from different providers)
Tested with
Can't give more detailed state because it gets stuck with the working... state on the left side

I have those hangs as well.
I had them for OpenAI and Google Gemini first, but now Claude too.
I've removed all specific configuration, all shared directories… Nothing changes.
Here are the logs:

@thdxr The hangs are happening way more often (almost each session) maybe there's something wrong on my config?
I've started opencode with DEBUG logs and here's the observed behavior:
Normal tool usage:
Here it hang at 15:42, I've waited some minutes and no new logline, I've tried to esc to cancel, here's the output:
One workaround (not really) is to
/compactit works some times, like here:Appreciate the tool a lot, as I'm using it daily these hangs are really a huge blocker right now, don't know if this is observed accross the board or if it's related to my setup specifically.
I've tested this on Osx, Archlinux, windows and on the three different systems I get the same behavior unfortunately.
Different models aswell

is this specifically with /init or /compat ? i haven't been able to reproduce this. do you have any specific config?
arthur404dev commentedon Aug 12, 2025
@thdxr The hangs happen randomly on normal usage.
My configuration file is:
And I have the following agents setup:
I've used
/compactas a workaround to unstuck that, but the usual state is that hang on agent calls ( Usually I observe the hang happening after I get the first response from the agent, for example:)

@thdxr can confirm, hangs happen when there's a mcp setting on opencode.json, I've removed that yesterday and hangs are not happening anymore.

I also had this hang when registering a local mcp server, which stopped when I removed this from my config. The hang I got was odd - in the prompt entry it was asking for my github username, and key registration was inconsistent (not sure if this is unrelated though)

@thdxr I have the same issue as @arthur404dev . When I provide a local mcp using npx I got stuck in working mode on second prompt (first one works)
rekram1-node commentedon Aug 26, 2025
@Orkin what mcp server are u using?
Orkin commentedon Aug 26, 2025
@rekram1-node Sentry, Linear and notion but I have the problem with one of them. You can see my configuration below
rekram1-node commentedon Aug 26, 2025
ah yeah we need to add better support for the oauth flow support for mcp, that is coming soon :/ @Orkin
that's why it hangs
Orkin commentedon Aug 26, 2025
@rekram1-node But with this configuration the oauth flow works and mcp server communication works too. But I don't understand why it's stuck after the first prompt. I think it's maybe because the "worker" is still connected to the mcp server ?
rekram1-node commentedon Aug 26, 2025
I will try to replicate and get back to ya
Orkin commentedon Sep 14, 2025
@rekram1-node do you have some news on this issue ?
rekram1-node commentedon Sep 14, 2025
@Orkin I can't replicate your issue, if added all 3 mcps and when using mcp-remote I had no issues besides slowness to start up (had to go through each flow 1 by 1)

I had this when added Better Auth MCP, and agent tried to fetch new docs from the MCP. When it was fetching the data, it hanged for a moment. ESC was not working.
To reproduce, you may need to somehow slow down the internet connection in the system (not sure if possible). If you have like 3G or 2G connection, all request will be really slow, and you will see that interruption of the request is not working.
