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 Language Server Protocol (LSP) defines the protocol used between an editor or IDE and a language server that provides language features such as autocomplete, go to definition, find all references, and documentation on hover. Adding these features for a programming language takes significant effort, and traditionally the work had to be repeated for each development tool because every editor or IDE exposed different APIs for implementing the same capabilities. LSP standardizes how language servers and development tools communicate, allowing the language-specific intelligence to live in a reusable server that can connect to multiple development environments through a shared protocol. This means a single Language Server can be reused across many tools, while development tools can support multiple languages with less duplicated effort. The protocol enables inter-process communication between the development tool and the language server and defines the format of messages using JSON-RPC.
