The now supports any Agent Client Protocol (ACP)-compatible harness with through the new package.AI SDK harness layerHarnessAgent@ai-sdk/harness-acp Previously, every harness adapter wrapped one specific runtime (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Deep Agents, OpenCode). wraps the protocol instead. It is a meta adapter: rather than adapting a single harness, it lets you build an adapter for any harness that ships an ACP-compatible package.@ai-sdk/harness-acp Implement a harness by passing that package to and configure basic harness mapping.createACP Then pass it to like any other harness:HarnessAgent ACP is an abstraction over coding harnesses, but the AI SDK harness layer stays deliberately decoupled from it.

Not every harness supports ACP, and for some, ACP limits or changes how well they expose their internal behaviors, so a direct adapter can produce a tighter integration. For Claude Code and Codex, prefer the direct and adapters over an ACP-based implementation; reach for when a harness has no direct adapter but ships an ACP-compatible package.@ai-sdk/harness-claude-code@ai-sdk/harness-codex@ai-sdk/harness-acp Read the to get started.ACP harness documentation Read more
