Is Claude Code still available on IDEs through ACP?

Like https://zed.dev/docs/ai/external-agents

Should be, yes - ACP is basically just a different way of invoking the agent, so you're still using Claude Code. It's alternative clients like OpenCode, the CharmBracelet one and pi which will be affected - they basically reimplement the agent part and just call the API directly.

Yes. I've been using it today with Zed (a mind-blowing editor, by the way).

One must use an API key to work through Zed, but my Max subscription can be used with Claude Code as an external agent via Zed ACP. And there's some integration; it's a better experience than Claude Code in a terminal next to file viewing in an editor.
