This tutorial walks through installing OpenCode's desktop app on a MacBook with Apple silicon. The speaker introduces it as an open source AI agent for coding, briefly points out terminal and package-manager installation options, then chooses the macOS desktop download. The walkthrough covers opening the downloaded file, moving the app into Applications, and launching it.

Inside OpenCode, the speaker shows where to add a project, start a session, and open a folder. They explain that users can then ask questions about the project. The final section looks at model selection and provider connections, including the option to enter an OpenAI API key. The speaker describes some listed models as free, but the tutorial does not establish provider pricing or support the broader claim that an API key makes every model free to use.

Despite the source title's reference to Figma MCP, the transcript contains no Figma connection steps or MCP configuration. Its useful scope is desktop installation and an introductory tour of the coding assistant. It also does not demonstrate how to run models locally or use the app offline; the provider discussion refers to cloud models.
