Grok Build ACP Setup

Grok Build ACP setup: run Grok Build over the Agent Client Protocol and connect it to AgentRQ for human-in-the-loop task management.

Grok Build is xAI's coding agent and CLI. It speaks the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so it runs behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.

Wondering which other coding agents support ACP? See the ACP support table for 33 agents.

Want Grok Build to use websites too? Connect Grok Build to WebMCP shows how it can call a site's WebMCP tools in your own Chrome.

Does Grok Build Support ACP?

Yes. Grok Build publishes an ACP server to the ACP registry as grok-build, 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 Grok Build 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 Grok Build is running in.

Connect Grok Build

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):

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent grok-build

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

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --agent grok-build

Grok Build runs straight from npm (@xai-official/[email protected]), so the gateway fetches and verifies it through npm itself — nothing is downloaded by hand.

Choosing a Model

Ask Grok Build which models it supports, then start it on one of them:

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --list-models --agent grok-build
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --model <model-id> --agent grok-build

Omit --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 Grok Build work with AgentRQ?

Yes — Grok Build 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 Grok Build to AgentRQ?

Save your workspace's .mcp.json in your project root, log in with npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent grok-build, 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 Grok Build — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
