Pi ACP

svkozak · Terminal & CLI Agents · Updated Aug 12, 2026

Pi ACP is an adapter that bridges the Pi coding agent to the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), allowing it to function as a first-class agent within compatible editors like Zed. It communicates via JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio, enabling features such as session persistence, slash command support, and real-time tool execution updates.

Recent Updates

Version 0.0.33 added support for session deletion, improved extension notifications, and integrated standard ACP configuration options for model selection and usage tracking.

As of Aug 12, 2026

Key Features

ACP JSON-RPC 2.0 communication over stdio
Real-time streaming of assistant output and tool calls
Support for file-based and built-in slash commands
Session persistence and re-attachment via session mapping
Integration with Zed editor for model selection and token usage reporting

Who It's For

✓ Best For

Developers using ACP-compatible editors (specifically Zed) who want to integrate the Pi coding agent directly into their IDE workflow.

✗ Not Ideal For

Users who require ACP filesystem or terminal delegation, as the adapter executes pi locally and does not support those specific ACP protocols.

Pricing

Open Source

Released under the MIT License; the adapter is free to use but requires the user to configure their own model providers and API keys within the underlying Pi coding agent.

Verdict

A robust and actively maintained bridge for power users who prefer the Pi coding agent but desire a native editor experience through the Agent Client Protocol.
