README

Control AI coding agents from your favorite messaging platform.

OpenACP bridges AI coding agents to messaging platforms like Telegram, Discord, and Slack using the Agent Client Protocol (ACP). Send a message, and your AI agent writes code, runs commands, and streams results back — all from your phone or desktop.

Why OpenACP?

• 28+ AI agents — Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Cline, goose, and more

• Any platform — Telegram, Discord, Slack, or build your own adapter

• Self-hosted — Your machine, your API keys, your data. Nothing leaves your infrastructure.

• Real-time streaming — Watch your agent think, plan, and execute with live updates

• Session management — Persistent sessions, resume after restarts, transfer between devices
