autoresearchclaw-native-acp-supports-claude-as-backend

AutoResearchClaw has built-in ACP (Agent Client Protocol) support configurable with llm.acp.agent: ‘claude’, designed to delegate LLM calls through Claude Code. However, ACP is designed for LLM delegation, not pipeline orchestration — it gives ORACLE Hermes less granular control over individual stages than MCP. Use ACP only if MCP server overhead is prohibitive; prefer MCP for structured bidirectional tool calls.
