About
The Agent Client Protocol (ACP) standardizes communication between code editors, IDEs, and coding agents, making agent-editor interoperability the default instead of requiring custom integrations for every possible combination. It provides a standard interface for communication between AI agents and client applications, with a flexible, extensible, and platform-agnostic architecture designed for both local and remote scenarios. ACP addresses integration overhead, limited compatibility, and developer lock-in by allowing agents that implement the protocol to work with any compatible editor, while editors that support ACP gain access to the broader ecosystem of ACP-compatible agents. Similar in spirit to how the Language Server Protocol standardized language server integration, ACP decouples agents and editors so both sides can innovate independently while developers choose the best tools for their workflow.

About
The Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) is an open interoperability standard designed to enable seamless communication between AI agents, applications, and human users. It provides a standardized RESTful API that supports synchronous and asynchronous interactions, streaming communication, long-running tasks, and both stateful and stateless operations. ACP is framework-agnostic, allowing agents built with technologies such as BeeAI, LangChain, CrewAI, or custom solutions to work together without requiring changes to their internal architecture. The protocol supports all content modalities through MimeTypes, making it flexible enough to handle text, images, audio, video, and custom data formats. ACP also includes capabilities for online and offline agent discovery, helping organizations find and connect compatible agents across different environments.
