claude-code-acp 0.1.0

ACP-compatible agent for Claude Code (Python version)

Claude Code ACP (Python)

ACP-compatible agent for Claude Code using the Python SDK.

This package bridges the Claude Agent SDK with the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), allowing Claude Code to work with any ACP-compatible client like Zed, Neovim, JetBrains IDEs, etc.

Features

• Full ACP protocol support
• Bidirectional communication (permission requests, tool calls)
• Uses your Claude CLI subscription (no API key needed)
• Session management (create, fork, resume, list)
• Multiple permission modes (default, acceptEdits, plan, bypassPermissions)

Installation

pip install claude-code-acp

Or with uv:

uv add claude-code-acp

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Claude CLI installed and authenticated (claude /login)

Usage

As a standalone ACP server

claude-code-acp

With Zed Editor

Add to your Zed settings.json:

{
  "agent_servers": {
    "Claude Code Python": {
      "type": "custom",
      "command": "claude-code-acp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Then open the Agent Panel (Ctrl+?) and select "Claude Code Python" from the + menu.

As a library

import asyncio
from claude_code_acp import ClaudeAcpAgent
from acp import run_agent

async def main():
    agent = ClaudeAcpAgent()
    await run_agent(agent)

asyncio.run(main())
