About
acpx is a headless CLI client developed by OpenClaw, designed for AI agents and orchestrators to communicate with coding agents via the structured Agent Client Protocol (ACP), eliminating the need for traditional PTY scraping. It supports various ACP-compatible agents like OpenClaw ACP, Pi, Codex, and Claude. The tool offers features such as persistent and named sessions, prompt queueing, cooperative cancellation, session controls, and structured agent output, aiming to streamline agent-to-agent command-line interactions for enhanced stability and efficiency, and to support complex automation workflows.
Features
- Headless CLI client built on Agent Client Protocol (ACP)
- Persistent and named session management for multi-turn conversations and parallel workflows
- Prompt queueing and cooperative cancellation commands
- Structured agent output (thinking, tool calls, diffs)
- Supports various ACP-compatible coding agents and custom servers
- Multi-step automation workflows via TypeScript flow modules

MCP: The USB-C of AI Tools, Addressing Developers' Outdated AI Assistant Workflows
Observing developers' cumbersome AI-assisted debugging workflows—constant tab switching and repetitive copy-pasting—highlights a significant inefficiency, akin to using a 2010 mobile phone. A major protocol shift is underway in AI tooling, with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) emerging as the "USB-C" for AI tools, aiming to standardize integrations. However, most developers remain unaware, continuing to operate with outdated methodologies and missing out on the transformative potential of MCP.

Unveiling MCP Tool's Hidden Footprint: How eBPF Exposes AI Agent's True Kernel Interactions
While AI agents perceive MCP tool calls as simple API interactions, these abstract functions often trigger a vast, unstated array of syscalls, library calls, and kernel paths. This article demonstrates how eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) provides crucial visibility into the actual, low-level system operations performed by MCP tools, revealing their true "kernel-side surface." This deep insight is vital for debugging, performance optimization, and understanding the complete operational footprint of AI-driven workflows, especially in complex environments like GPU hosts.
