@@ -21,6 +21,24 @@ If you want an external MCP client to talk directly to OpenClaw channel
conversations instead of hosting an ACP harness session, use
[`openclaw mcp serve`](/cli/mcp) instead.
## What this is not
This page is often confused with ACP harness sessions.
`openclaw acp` means:
- OpenClaw acts as an ACP server
- an IDE or ACP client connects to OpenClaw
- OpenClaw forwards that work into a Gateway session
This is different from [ACP Agents](/tools/acp-agents), where OpenClaw runs an
external harness such as Codex or Claude Code through `acpx`.
Quick rule:
- editor/client wants to talk ACP to OpenClaw: use `openclaw acp`
- OpenClaw should launch Codex/Claude/Gemini as an ACP harness: use `/acp spawn` and [ACP Agents](/tools/acp-agents)
