Introducing Agent Extensions
Blog post from Zed
The Agent Client Protocol (ACP) ecosystem is expanding rapidly with new agents like Auggie from Augment Code and clients such as the JetBrains family of IDEs. Zed has introduced Agent Server Extensions, enabling users to easily install and use agents like Augment, OpenCode, and Stakpak with a single click. These extensions add a menu item in Zed to start a new thread with an agent and automatically download the necessary implementation, though authentication is typically required. Developers can create ACP-compatible agents and distribute them through Zed by following simple steps to publish their own extensions. The community and Zed team are actively supporting the growth of this ecosystem, with related content and opportunities available for those interested in software development.
