Description

The OpenCode MCP client fails to connect to Context7's MCP server because it doesn't send the required Accept: application/json, text/event-stream HTTP header. Context7 requires both content types to be accepted, and returns HTTP 406 "Not Acceptable" when this header is missing or incorrect.

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure Context7 MCP server in ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:
   {
   mcp: {
   context7: {
   type: remote,
   url: https://mcp.context7.com/mcp,
   headers: {
   CONTEXT7_API_KEY: your-api-key
   },
   enabled: true
   }
   }
   }
2. Start OpenCode
3. Observe error: "context7 Failed to get tools"

Root Cause Investigation:
I tested the Context7 endpoint manually using curl:

Without Accept header (fails with 406)

curl -X POST https://mcp.context7.com/mcp
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
--data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Result: HTTP/1.1 406 Not Acceptable

With correct Accept header (works)

curl -X POST https://mcp.context7.com/mcp
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream"
--data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Result: Returns tools successfully (resolve-library-id, query-docs)

Context7 returns: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32000,"message":"Not Acceptable: Client must accept both application/json and text/event-stream"},"id":null}
The server also sends these CORS headers indicating acceptable headers:
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, MCP-Session-Id, MCP-Protocol-Version, X-Context7-API-Key, Context7-API-Key, X-API-Key, Authorization
Environment:

• OpenCode version: v1.1.2 (released Jan 5, 2026)
• Operating System: Windows
• MCP Server: Context7 (https://mcp.context7.com/mcp)
  Suggested Fix:
  Update the OpenCode MCP client to send Accept: application/json, text/event-stream header when making requests to remote MCP servers, or at minimum, allow configuring custom Accept headers in the MCP server configuration.
