## Summary In an ACP client, `/mcp` showed the CLI text "… Use `/mcp` in the terminal for details." The user of an ACP client has no terminal. In SDK mode, Claude Code also refuses `/mcp reconnect|enable|disable` with "Reconnect, enable, and disable aren't available in this session." and changes nothing. - `/mcp` and `/mcp reconnect|enable|disable [<server>|all]` still run as a normal Claude Code turn. The adapter replaces the text of the local command, through the same hook that `/usage` uses. Prompt order, cancel, and the provider update stay with the turn. - For an action, the adapter runs it in that turn through the SDK control API (`reconnectMcpServer`, `toggleMcpServer`). It shows one result line for each server, then the status list. - The status list comes from `query.mcpServerStatus()`. It has a summary line and groups by status: failed, needs authentication, connecting, connected, and disabled on one line. A failed server shows a short cleaned error. A list is used and not a table, because a table breaks words in narrow columns. - Useful CLI sentences stay, for example "There's no MCP server named …". Sentences that point to the terminal are removed. - After an explicit reconnect, a server from the ACP session that needs authentication starts the existing MCP OAuth flow, when the client supports URL elicitation. - `/mcp` is advertised with the input hint `[reconnect|enable|disable [<server>|all]]` and is hidden on history replay. ## Other commits in this branch This branch also carries commits of other work: skill command metadata for AIR, a faster `session/load` replay, and the resumed permission mode. They can move to separate PRs if preferred. ## Tests - `src/tests/mcp-command.test.ts` (61 tests). The fake CLI answers with the real SDK-mode texts and message shapes (synthetic assistant + result) and does not change any status. - A live run through the adapter with a broken and a working stdio server: `/mcp`, `/mcp disable good`, `/mcp enable good`, `/mcp reconnect broken`, `/mcp reconnect nosuch`. - `compare.ts` allows one new difference against the origin/main baseline: the `mcp` command in `available_commands_update`. The baseline files are unchanged. - `npm run check` and `npm run test:run` pass.
ACP adapter for the Claude Agent SDK
Use Claude Agent SDK from ACP-compatible clients!
This tool implements an ACP agent by using the official Claude Agent SDK, supporting:
- Context @-mentions
- Images
- Tool calls (with permission requests)
- Compact file changes through the negotiated AIR diff patch extension
- Following
- Edit review
- TODO lists
- Nested subagent transcripts
- Interactive (and background) terminals
- Custom Slash commands
- Client MCP servers
/mcpin the chat: the MCP server status as a list. The adapter runs/mcp reconnect,/mcp enable, and/mcp disablethrough the SDK control API, because Claude Code refuses them in SDK mode. A reconnect of an ACP server that needs authentication starts MCP OAuth through URL elicitation- Session-scoped long-running goals for AIR through the goal extension under
_meta.jetbrains.air.goal - Structured errors, recovery, and warnings through the opt-in session failure extension
- Concrete model and effort defaults through the opt-in recommended config value extension
- Tool permission presentation, editable choices, and durable effects through the permission extension

Subagent sessions
Subagents are exposed only after bilateral capability negotiation. Until the released ACP SDKs
preserve the draft clientCapabilities.subagents field, a supporting client may advertise
nativeSubagentSessions in _meta.jetbrains.air.capabilities; the adapter mirrors the capability
in its initialize response. The canonical field remains supported and takes precedence once it is
available. Without either client signal, Agent/Task lifecycle keeps its legacy ordinary ACP
tool-call representation and child interactions stay on the root session. Clients that use the
historical _meta["subagent-transcript"] capability or forwardSubagentText session option retain
the flattened child transcript behavior. See AIR extensions.
