Connect VT Code to AgentRQ

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

VT Code is an IDE integration and coding agent tool listed as ACP-compatible, so it can run behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.

Does VT Code Support ACP?

Yes. VT Code publishes an ACP server to the ACP registry as vtcode, 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 VT Code 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 VT Code is running in.

Connect VT Code

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 vtcode

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

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

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 VT Code work with AgentRQ?

Yes — VT Code 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 VT Code to AgentRQ?

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