Agent Client Protocol (ACP)
https://agentclientprotocol.com
https://github.com/zed-industries/agent-client-protocol
A new open standard developed by Zed Industries, aiming to standardize communication between code editors (IDEs, text editors) and AI agents. The approach is similar to how Language Server Protocol (LSP) standardized the integration of language servers.

Agents run as child processes of the code editor and exchange data using JSON-RPC over standard input/output (stdio) streams. The protocol is still under development.

Zed editor now supports integration with Claude Code via ACP and runs in the sidebar. The adapter is released as open-source under the Apache license, allowing other editors to use it as well. https://github.com/Xuanwo helped with the implementation.
