ACP-MCP-Server

ACP-MCP-Server

A bridge server that connects Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) agents with Model Context Protocol (MCP) clients, enabling seamless integration between ACP-based AI agents and MCP-compatible tools like Claude Desktop.

✨ Features

• 🔄 Protocol Bridge: Seamlessly connects ACP agents with MCP clients
• 🚀 Multiple Transports: Supports STDIO, SSE, and Streamable HTTP
• 🤖 Agent Discovery: Automatic discovery and registration of ACP agents
• 🧠 Smart Routing: Intelligent routing of requests to appropriate agents
• 🔄 Async Support: Full support for synchronous and asynchronous operations
• 💬 Interactive Sessions: Support for multi-turn agent interactions
• 🌐 Multi-Modal: Handle text, images, and other content types

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Install from PyPI
pip install acp-mcp-server

# Or use uvx for isolated execution
uvx acp-mcp-server

Basic Usage

# Run with STDIO (default, for Claude Desktop)
acp-mcp-server

# Run with SSE transport
acp-mcp-server --transport sse --port 8000

# Run with HTTP transport
acp-mcp-server --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9000

# Connect to different ACP server
acp-mcp-server --acp-url http://localhost:8001

Using with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "acp-bridge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["acp-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

🔌 Transport Modes

STDIO (Default)

Perfect for Claude Desktop integration:

acp-mcp-server

SSE (Server-Sent Events)

For web applications and streaming:

acp-mcp-server --transport sse --port 8000

Streamable HTTP

For REST API integration:

acp-mcp-server --transport streamable-http --port 9000

🐳 Docker

Quick Start with Docker

# Build the image
docker build -t acp-mcp-server .

# Run with Streamable HTTP transport
docker run -p 9000:9000 acp-mcp-server

# Run with SSE transport
docker run -p 8000:8000 acp-mcp-server \
  --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# Connect to custom ACP server
docker run -p 9000:9000 -e ACP_BASE_URL=http://my-acp-server:8001 acp-mcp-server

Using Docker Compose

# Run HTTP transport service
docker-compose up acp-mcp-http

# Run SSE transport service
docker-compose up acp-mcp-sse

# Run both services
docker-compose up

# Run development mode with live code reload
docker-compose --profile dev up acp-mcp-dev

Production Docker Image

For production deployments, use the multi-stage Dockerfile:

# Build production image
docker build -f Dockerfile.prod -t acp-mcp-server:prod .

# Run production container
docker run -d \
  --name acp-mcp-server \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -e ACP_BASE_URL=http://your-acp-server:8000 \
  acp-mcp-server:prod
