Connect Blackbox AI to AgentRQ
Connect Blackbox AI to AgentRQ over the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) for human-in-the-loop task management.
Blackbox AI is an AI coding assistant with a dedicated terminal CLI, listed as ACP-compatible, so it can run behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.
Does Blackbox AI Support ACP?
Yes. Check the Blackbox CLI docs for the exact command that starts it in ACP server mode.
What Connecting via ACP Gets You
Once Blackbox AI is bridged through AgentRQ's ACP Gateway, every task it works on shows up on your AgentRQ task board in real time. You can approve risky commands, reply with extra context, or reassign work — from the dashboard or Slack — without touching the terminal Blackbox AI is running in.
Connect Blackbox AI
Once you have Blackbox AI's ACP command from its docs, wrap it with AgentRQ's gateway:
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest -- <blackbox-acp-command>
Then point it at your workspace with a .mcp.json in your project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentrq": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://WORKSPACE_ID.mcp.agentrq.com/mcp?token=TOKEN"
}
}
}
See the ACP Gateway guide for the full setup walkthrough, including where to find your Workspace ID and token.
FAQ
Does Blackbox AI work with AgentRQ?
Yes — Blackbox AI is listed as an ACP-compatible agent, so it connects to AgentRQ through the open-source ACP Gateway with no custom integration code.
How do I connect Blackbox AI to AgentRQ?
Find Blackbox AI's ACP launch command in its official docs, then run npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest -- from your project root, with a .mcp.json pointing at your AgentRQ workspace.
What is the Agent Client Protocol (ACP)?
ACP is an open, editor-agnostic protocol that lets any coding agent talk to any client over a standard JSON-RPC interface. AgentRQ's gateway implements the client side of ACP, so any ACP-compatible agent — including Blackbox AI — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
