About

The Agent Client Protocol (ACP) is an open-source, free protocol originating from the United States, developed by Zed Industries. It is designed to standardize communication between code editors (IDEs, text-editors) and generative AI coding agents that autonomously modify code. Still under active development, ACP is built with Rust and Typescript, supporting self-hosted implementations and integrations with tools like Zed and Neovim. It serves as a foundational developer tool for AI code assistance, enabling features like suggesting and voting on new functionalities. Its development is publicly accessible via GitHub.
