acpx is a headless command-line client for the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) that lets users drive coding agents like Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI from the terminal. It provides persistent multi-turn sessions, one-shot runs, prompt queuing, and structured JSON event output for automation.

Use cases

  • drive coding agents from scripts and CI
  • run persistent multi-turn AI coding sessions in a repo
  • pipe structured agent events into automation with jq
  • run parallel named agent workstreams in one repository
  • switch between coding agents with one uniform CLI

When to avoid

  • you need a graphical chat interface for coding agents
  • you rely on an agent that has no ACP server or adapter
  • you need a stable, frozen CLI contract — acpx is pre-1.0 and evolving
