The Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) is an open protocol with Python and TypeScript SDKs for enabling AI agents built on different frameworks to communicate, coordinate, and discover each other via a RESTful API. It has been merged into the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol under the Linux Foundation, so new adopters should use A2A.
Use cases
- connect ai agents built with different frameworks
- make my agent discoverable over a rest api
- stream agent responses between services
- expose my agent as an mcp tool
- run long-running multi-agent tasks with shared state
- build an agent server in python or typescript
When to choose
- you need agent-to-agent interoperability across frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, or BeeAI
- you want a REST-based, runtime-free agent invocation protocol with streaming and session support
- you need an MCP adapter to expose ACP agents as MCP tools
- you want an open-governance protocol backed by the Linux Foundation
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - ACP has merged into A2A and is in maintenance
- you only need to connect a single LLM to tools and resources (use MCP instead)
- you need a full agent orchestration framework rather than a communication protocol
