Zed Adopts Agent Client Protocol
Zed has natively implemented the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), an open standard that decouples agents from the IDE. Developers can run agents like Claude Code or Gemini CLI directly in Zed without bespoke integrations.
// ANALYSIS
ACP gives Zed a universal bridge for agents, similar to what LSP did for language servers, and the JSON-RPC design fits Zed's low-latency editing model. By separating agent logic from the client UI, Zed supports bring-your-own-agent workflows and reduces the need for one-off integrations; the ACP Registry later extends that ecosystem across compatible clients like JetBrains and Neovim.
