Description
Describe the bug
APM rejects an explicit global MCP installation for OpenCode even when the user's documented global OpenCode configuration already exists.
To Reproduce
Run:
$ apm install -g --target opencode \
--mcp example --transport http --url https://example.com/mcp
Error: Selected targets are unavailable for user-scope MCP installation
(opencode; source: --target flag); choose a global-capable --target or omit --global
No OpenCode configuration is changed.
Expected behavior
apm install -g --target opencode should support MCP deployment to OpenCode's documented global configuration and preserve unrelated existing settings.
Project-scoped OpenCode installation should continue to use project opencode.json independently.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- OS: macOS
- Python Version: 3.14.7
- APM Version: 0.31.0 installed with Homebrew
- VSCode Version (if relevant): Not applicable
Logs
The complete relevant error is included in the reproduction above.
Additional context
APM's OpenCode adapter explicitly disables user scope, selects project-root opencode.json, and requires a project .opencode/ directory. The global MCP installer then rejects adapters without user-scope support.
OpenCode documents a supported user-level configuration model:
- Its global configuration is
~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonand applies user-wide. - Its configuration locations are merged, preserving non-conflicting settings from each source.
- MCP servers are declared under the top-level
mcpkey. - A remote MCP entry uses
type: "remote",url, and optional fields such asenabledandheaders.

Research direction
Start with src/apm_cli/adapters/client/opencode.py around lines 37-69 and src/apm_cli/integration/mcp_integrator_install.py around lines 570-600 to trace how target scope and the global-install rejection are determined. Reproduce the documented command, then verify that global OpenCode configuration is supported, unrelated settings are preserved, and project-scoped installation remains independent.
