Open Standard

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

ACP defines how AI agents and code editors communicate, enabling a universal ecosystem of tools that work together.

Universal Compatibility

Any agent that speaks ACP can connect to any editor that supports it. One protocol, unlimited possibilities.

Privacy First

ACP runs locally. Your code stays on your machine — agents interact through a local protocol, not cloud APIs.

Open Source

ACP is fully open source under the Apache license. Build on it, extend it, contribute to it.
