autoresearchclaw-acp-protocol-supports-claude-code
AutoResearchClaw natively supports ACP (Agent Client Protocol) with llm.acp.agent: ‘claude’ config, designed for coding agents to delegate LLM calls through ACP rather than direct API. However, ACP is better suited for LLM delegation than orchestration — it gives less granular control over individual pipeline stages compared to an MCP server wrapper. Use ACP only when the goal is to let ResearchClaw self-orchestrate its LLM calls; use MCP when ORACLE needs stage-level control.
