Summary

Vercel's AI SDK harness layer now supports any Agent Client Protocol (ACP)-compatible harness via the new @ai-sdk/harness-acp package, replacing the previous approach where each adapter wrapped one specific runtime.

Key facts

  • The @ai-sdk/harness-acp package adds ACP-compatible harness support to the AI SDK harness layer.
  • HarnessAgent is the interface used to connect ACP-compatible harnesses.
  • Previously, each harness adapter wrapped a single specific runtime such as Claude Code or Codex.

Why it matters

Developers integrating agent runtimes can target one protocol instead of writing a separate adapter per runtime, which reduces the work needed to swap or add harnesses in AI SDK-based tooling.
