Agent Client Protocol (ACP) Integration

💡Feature Request for Integration with ACP

ACP (Agent Client Protocol) is a standard for integrating AI agents with code editors.
The was created by the team of Zed and JetBrains in order to have a single interface that allows code editors to interact with AI agents: use thinking, tools, file-system access within multiple managed sessions.

The ADK framework is already very powerful. If it would provide an interface to interact with code editors, I think a lot of developers would move to this framework. It is currently a headache to manually integrate this protocol with other stacks or agent workflows. LangChain has an integration, but it does not give full support for thinking outputs, and lacks somewhat in the simplicity and tooling department.

In my opinion implementing this protocol as a communication interface would lead to a massive gain in popularity of the framework (I personally would migrate the next day).

💬 Remarks

• There is a library for implementing ACP in native rust.
• Editor support for Zed and JetBrains already available and working well (VSCode is probably coming soon).

This is being implemented - I was testing it out with Kiro CLI to achieve agent harness capability but will validate with Zed and Jetbrains too. Thanks!

Amazing news! Looking forward to test it.

@jkmaina Thank you for the release! I'm curious to try it out! 👏

I noticed the server feature in the newly published crate, but I'm guessing that it's still being implemented, right?
If you have a working branch, I would be happy to test it out with some editors.
