Connect Harn to AgentRQ

Connect Harn to AgentRQ over the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) for human-in-the-loop task management.

Harn is Burin Labs' agent runner, which executes .harn pipelines as a native ACP coding agent over stdio. It speaks the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so it runs behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.

Does Harn Support ACP?

Yes. Harn publishes an ACP server to the ACP registry as harn, so AgentRQ's gateway can fetch and run it by name — there is nothing to install by hand.

What Connecting via ACP Gets You

Once Harn 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 Harn is running in.

Connect Harn

Copy the .mcp.json for your workspace from Settings → Setup in the AgentRQ app, save it in your project root, then run both commands from that directory.

Log in (the first run also downloads the agent):

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent harn

Start the bridge, and leave it running — it picks up tasks as you assign them:

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --agent harn

Harn ships as a prebuilt binary, which the gateway downloads, checks and caches per agent, version and platform.

Choosing a Model

Ask Harn which models it supports, then start it on one of them:

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --list-models --agent harn
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --model <model-id> --agent harn

Omit --model to take whatever the agent defaults to. The gateway applies the model as each session opens and reports it back to AgentRQ, so the workspace shows which model actually ran.

FAQ

Does Harn work with AgentRQ?

Yes — Harn speaks the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so it connects to AgentRQ through the open-source ACP Gateway with no custom integration code.

How do I connect Harn to AgentRQ?

Save your workspace's .mcp.json in your project root, log in with npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent harn, then start the bridge with the same command minus --login.

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 Harn — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
