Introducing ACP Bridge to Amp Code

Why we built acp-amp

At Superagentic AI, we believe in giving developers choice. Amp Code is one of the most capable coding agents available, and we wanted to make it accessible beyond just the VS Code extension. When we started building SuperQode, our agentic quality engineering platform, we needed a way to connect Amp to our system.

The solution was the Agent Client Protocol. ACP provides a clean JSON RPC interface over stdio that any compatible client can use. We built acp-amp as the bridge, and now we are releasing it as open source so everyone can benefit.

Two ways to install

We provide both Python and Node.js versions with matching features. Pick the one that fits your workflow.

Python

Recommended

uv tool install acp-amp

acp-amp run

Node.js

Simple

npm i -g @superagenticai/acp-amp

acp-amp

Connect to Zed

Zed has native ACP support, making it simple to add Amp as an agent. Add one of these configurations to your~/.config/zed/settings.json:

Connect to JetBrains IDEs

You can also connect your agent to JetBrains IDEs via ~/.jetbrains/acp.json using the JetBrains ACP setup guide.

NPM config

{
  "agent_servers": {
    "Amp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@superagenticai/acp-amp"]
    }
  }
}

Python config

{
  "agent_servers": {
    "Amp": {
      "command": "acp-amp",
      "args": ["run"]
    }
  }
}

Full Amp capabilities

acp-amp is not a limited wrapper. You get everything Amp offers through the ACP bridge:

Multi-turn conversation sessions with context continuity
Tool execution with permission modes
MCP integration for connecting to Model Context Protocol servers
Image support for sending and receiving visual content
Session management with clean isolation between tasks

Compatible ACP clients

acp-amp works with any client that speaks ACP over stdio. Here are some you can try today:

Zed - Modern editor with native ACP support
SuperQode - Our agentic quality engineering platform
Toad - Python ACP client with fast setup
fast-agent - High speed Python ACP client

The ACP ecosystem is growing rapidly. Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, JetBrains Junie, and many more are adopting the protocol. With acp-amp, you can bring Amp to all of them.

Important: ACP requires paid Amp credits. Free credits do not work for ACP connections. Top up a few dollars in Amp before connecting.

acp-amp is open source under the MIT license. We built it because we believe Amp is a great coding agent and developers should be able to use it wherever they work. If you build software with AI agents, we invite you to try it, integrate it into your workflow, and contribute back to the project.
