# Code Assistant ACP Setup

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

[Code Assistant](https://github.com/stippi/code-assistant) is a terminal-based coding assistant listed as ACP-compatible, 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](https://agentrq.com/blog/which-coding-agents-support-acp-agent-client-protocol) for 33 agents.

Want Code Assistant to use websites too? [Connect Code Assistant to WebMCP](https://agentrq.com/docs/webmcp/code-assistant) shows how it can call a site's WebMCP tools in your own Chrome.

## Does Code Assistant Support ACP?

Yes. Check Code Assistant's [repository](https://github.com/stippi/code-assistant) for the exact command that starts it in ACP server mode.

## What Connecting via ACP Gets You

Once Code Assistant is bridged through AgentRQ's [ACP Gateway](https://agentrq.com/docs/connect-acp-agent), every task it works on shows up on your AgentRQ [task board](https://agentrq.com/features/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 Code Assistant is running in.

## Connect Code Assistant

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

bash

```bash
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest -- <code-assistant-acp-command>
```

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

json

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentrq": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://WORKSPACE_ID.mcp.agentrq.com/mcp?token=TOKEN"
    }
  }
}
```

See the [ACP Gateway guide](https://agentrq.com/docs/connect-acp-agent) for the full setup walkthrough, including where to find your Workspace ID and token.

## FAQ

**Does Code Assistant work with AgentRQ?**

Yes — Code Assistant is listed as an ACP-compatible agent, so it connects to AgentRQ through the open-source [ACP Gateway](https://agentrq.com/docs/connect-acp-agent) with no custom integration code.

**How do I connect Code Assistant to AgentRQ?**

Find Code Assistant's ACP launch command in its [official docs](https://github.com/stippi/code-assistant), then run `npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest -- <that-command>` 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 Code Assistant — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
