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.

Multiple external agents in Zed made available by ACP.
