ACP Agent Registry Is Live: Find and Connect AI Coding Agents in Your JetBrains IDE | The JetBrains AI Blog
Blog post from JetBrains
The newly launched ACP Agent Registry offers a comprehensive directory of AI coding agents, integrated into JetBrains IDEs and Zed, enabling developers to easily discover, install, and switch between various AI agents to enhance their coding workflows. The Agent Client Protocol (ACP) serves as an open standard that ensures interoperability among AI coding agents across different editors, eliminating vendor lock-in and allowing developers to choose their preferred tools freely. This registry simplifies the process of integrating AI agents by allowing developers to install agents with a single click, while also supporting the ongoing evolution of AI-assisted development through community-driven contributions. For agent developers, listing in the registry provides instant access to a large user base, promoting competition based on quality rather than exclusivity. The initiative fosters an open ecosystem, encouraging experimentation and diverse agent use to suit individual preferences and needs.
