Connect Poolside to AgentRQ

Connect Poolside to AgentRQ over the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) for human-in-the-loop task management.

Poolside is an AI coding assistant listed as ACP-compatible, so it can run behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.

Does Poolside Support ACP?

Yes. Poolside publishes an ACP server to the ACP registry as poolside, 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 Poolside 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 Poolside is running in.

Connect Poolside

Run both commands from your project root — the directory holding your .mcp.json.

Log in (the first run also downloads the agent):

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent poolside

Start the bridge, and leave it running — it picks up tasks as you assign them:

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --agent poolside

That .mcp.json is what tells the gateway which workspace to take tasks from:

json 
{
  "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 Poolside work with AgentRQ?

Yes — Poolside 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 Poolside to AgentRQ?

Run npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent poolside 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 Poolside — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
