Pi ACP Setup

Pi ACP setup: run the Pi coding agent over the Agent Client Protocol and connect it to AgentRQ for human-in-the-loop task management.

Pi is a coding agent bridged to the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) via the pi-acp adapter, so it can run behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.

Wondering which other coding agents support ACP? See the ACP support table for 33 agents.

Want Pi to use websites too? Connect Pi to WebMCP shows how it can call a site's WebMCP tools in your own Chrome.

Does Pi Support ACP?

Yes. Pi publishes an ACP server to the ACP registry as pi-acp, 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 Pi 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 Pi is running in.

Connect Pi

Run both commands from your project root — the directory holding your .mcp.json.

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

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

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

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

That .mcp.json is what tells the gateway which workspace to take tasks from:

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 Pi work with AgentRQ?

Yes — Pi connects via the pi-acp adapter, so it works with AgentRQ through the open-source ACP Gateway with no custom integration code.

How do I connect Pi to AgentRQ?

Run npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --agent pi-acp from your project root (check pi-mono for any required flags), 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 Pi — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
