Koog, a Kotlin framework for building AI agents, now offers native integration with the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), enabling developers to create ACP-compliant coding agents and connect them to JetBrains IDEs. The integration uses Koog's feature mechanism and the ACP Kotlin SDK to implement agent-client communication through AgentSupport and AgentSession classes. Developers can build custom coding agents with file system tools, package them as executables, and configure them in IntelliJ-based IDEs via a JSON config file to interact directly through AI Chat.
