Agent Client Protocol
Agent Client Protocol standardizes communication between coding agents and client applications such as code editors.

About
Agent Client Protocol standardizes communication between coding agents and client applications such as code editors.
Key Features
- Connect an agent implementation to compatible client interfaces.
- Exchange requests and notifications for interactive coding workflows.
Setup or Requirements
Use the protocol documentation and a maintained SDK to implement or integrate a compatible agent or client.
Compatibility
ACP standardizes agent-to-client communication through JSON-RPC. Choose an SDK and transport supported by both the agent and its editor client.
Limitations
ACP addresses agent-to-client integration. It is distinct from A2A agent-to-agent communication and from an MCP server exposing tools.
