Connect crow-cli to AgentRQ
Connect crow-cli to AgentRQ over the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) for human-in-the-loop task management.
crow-cli is an AI development tool for the terminal listed as ACP-compatible, so it can run behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.
Does crow-cli Support ACP?
Yes. crow-cli publishes an ACP server to the ACP registry as crow-cli, so AgentRQ's gateway can fetch and run it by name — there is nothing to install by hand.
What Connecting via ACP Gets You
Once crow-cli is bridged through AgentRQ's ACP Gateway, every task it works on shows up on your AgentRQ task board in real time. You can approve risky commands, reply with extra context, or reassign work — from the dashboard or Slack — without touching the terminal crow-cli is running in.
Connect crow-cli
Run both commands from your project root — the directory holding your .mcp.json.
Log in (the first run also downloads the agent):
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent crow-cli
Start the bridge, and leave it running — it picks up tasks as you assign them:
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --agent crow-cli
That .mcp.json is what tells the gateway which workspace to take tasks from:
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentrq": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://WORKSPACE_ID.mcp.agentrq.com/mcp?token=TOKEN"
}
}
}
See the ACP Gateway guide for the full setup walkthrough, including where to find your Workspace ID and token.
FAQ
Does crow-cli work with AgentRQ?
Yes — crow-cli is listed as an ACP-compatible agent, so it connects to AgentRQ through the open-source ACP Gateway with no custom integration code.
How do I connect crow-cli to AgentRQ?
Run npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent crow-cli from your project root, then start the bridge with the same command minus --login. A .mcp.json there points the gateway at your AgentRQ workspace.
What is the Agent Client Protocol (ACP)?
ACP is an open, editor-agnostic protocol that lets any coding agent talk to any client over a standard JSON-RPC interface. AgentRQ's gateway implements the client side of ACP, so any ACP-compatible agent — including crow-cli — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
