Agent Client Protocol
Bring your own agent to Zed. Connect any agent that speaks ACP to a powerful, purpose-built IDE interface.
A New Standard for Agent Interoperability
The Agent Client Protocol (ACP) is an open standard that enables any agent to integrate seamlessly with any editing environment.
Universal Compatibility
Any agent on ACP gains access to Zed's multi-file editing, full codebase context, and many other powerful reviewing tools.
Privacy First
When using third-party agents, nothing touches our servers. We never store or train on your code without explicit consent.
Open Source
ACP is open source under the Apache license. Build on existing implementations or create your own agent from scratch.
