Connect Kiro CLI to AgentRQ

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

Kiro CLI is AWS's agentic IDE and CLI, listed as ACP-compatible, so it can run behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.

Does Kiro CLI Support ACP?

Yes. Check Kiro's ACP docs for the exact command that starts it in ACP server mode.

What Connecting via ACP Gets You

Once Kiro CLI 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 Kiro is running in.

Connect Kiro CLI

Once you have Kiro's ACP command from its docs, wrap it with AgentRQ's gateway:

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest -- <kiro-acp-command>

Then point it at your workspace with a .mcp.json in your project root:

json 
{
  "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 Kiro CLI work with AgentRQ?

Yes — Kiro CLI 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 Kiro CLI to AgentRQ?

Find Kiro'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 Kiro CLI — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
