GLM Agent ACP Setup
GLM Agent ACP setup: run GLM Agent over the Agent Client Protocol and connect it to AgentRQ for human-in-the-loop task management.
GLM Agent is an ACP agent powered by Zhipu AI's GLM Coding Plan models, with streaming, tool calls and mid-session model switching. It speaks the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so it runs behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.

Does GLM Agent Support ACP?
Yes. GLM Agent publishes an ACP server to the ACP registry as glm-acp-agent, 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 GLM Agent 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 GLM Agent is running in.
Connect GLM Agent
Copy the .mcp.json for your workspace from Settings → Setup in the AgentRQ app, save it in your project root, then run both commands from that directory.
Log in (the first run also downloads the agent):
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent glm-acp-agentStart the bridge, and leave it running — it picks up tasks as you assign them:
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --agent glm-acp-agentGLM Agent runs straight from npm ([email protected]), so the gateway fetches and verifies it through npm itself — nothing is downloaded by hand.
Choosing a Model
Ask GLM Agent which models it supports, then start it on one of them:
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --list-models --agent glm-acp-agent
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --model <model-id> --agent glm-acp-agentOmit --model to take whatever the agent defaults to. The gateway applies the model as each session opens and reports it back to AgentRQ, so the workspace shows which model actually ran.
FAQ
Does GLM Agent work with AgentRQ?
Yes — GLM Agent speaks the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so it connects to AgentRQ through the open-source ACP Gateway with no custom integration code.
How do I connect GLM Agent to AgentRQ?
Save your workspace's .mcp.json in your project root, log in with npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent glm-acp-agent, then start the bridge with the same command minus --login.
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 GLM Agent — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
