Symbiotic Code supports the Agent Client Protocol or (ACP), allowing you to use it directly in compatible editors and IDEs.
For a list of editors and tools that support ACP, check out the ACP progress report.
ACP is an open protocol that standardizes communication between code editors and AI coding agents.

​
Configure

To use Symbiotic Code via ACP, configure your editor to run the symbioticacp command. The command starts Symbiotic Code as an ACP-compatible subprocess that communicates with your editor over JSON-RPC via stdio. Below are examples for popular editors that support ACP.

​
Zed

Add to your Zed configuration (~/.config/zed/settings.json):
~/.config/zed/settings.json
{
  "agent_servers": {
    "Symbiotic Code": {
      "command": "opencode",
      "args": ["acp"]
    }
  }
}
To open it, use the agent: new thread action in the Command Palette. You can also bind a keyboard shortcut by editing your keymap.json:
keymap.json
[
  {
    "bindings": {
      "cmd-alt-o": [
        "agent::NewExternalAgentThread",
        {
          "agent": {
            "custom": {
              "name": "Symbiotic Code",
              "command": {
                "command": "opencode",
                "args": ["acp"]
              }
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
]

​
JetBrains IDEs

Add acp.json to your JetBrains IDE according to the documentation:
acp.json
{
  "agent_servers": {
    "Symbiotic Code": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/bin/opencode",
      "args": ["acp"]
    }
  }
}
To open it, use the new ‘Symbiotic Code’ agent in the AI Chat agent selector.

​
Support

Symbiotic Code works the same via ACP as it does in the terminal. All features are supported:
Some built-in slash commands like /undo and /redo are currently unsupported.
  • Built-in tools (file operations, terminal commands, etc.)
  • Custom tools and slash commands
  • MCP servers configured in your Symbiotic Code config
  • Project-specific rules from AGENTS.md
  • Custom formatters and linters
  • Agents and permissions system
