The ACP Registry Is Live
Ben Brandt
- The Agent Client Protocol (ACP) was a big step forward in how agents and editors work together. A standardized protocol meant developers could focus on agent capabilities while editors handled the interface, but distribution was still fragmented: agents needed to be exposed as extensions for each client, or manually installed by the user, which created maintenance overhead.
- The ACP Registry changes that. We’re thrilled to announce that developers can now register their agent implementation once, and it will become available to every ACP-compatible client.
- The list of available agents in the registry already includes some of the best out there: Claude Code, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, [[OpenCode]], Gemini CLI, and many more.
- This was always the promise of ACP: implement once, work everywhere. The registry is the missing distribution layer: a unified way to expose agents to as many developers as possible.
- What This Means for Zed You can find and install all of the agents available in the registry through the ACP Registry page in Zed.
