Integrating anything into an IDE like IntelliJ IDEA used to mean writing a complex plugin in Java or Kotlin, learning obscure APIs, and pulling half the JVM ecosystem into your build. Agent Client Protocol changes that.
In this talk, I’ll explore how the Agent Client Protocol allows any AI agent – from a hobby project to a production service – to connect to multiple editors (IntelliJ, Zed, Emacs, Neovim and more) while doing it in your preferred technology stack. I’ll cover what ACP is, why it exists, and how it’s becoming a common language between agents and developer tools.
