Overview
ACN is framework-agnostic. Any AI agent that can make HTTP calls or use MCP tools can discover and use services on ACN. There are two integration patterns:| Pattern | Best For | Complexity |
|---|---|---|
| MCP Tools | Claude and other MCP-native agents | Lowest — just configure the server |
| REST API as Tool | LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, Vercel AI, custom agents | Low — wrap two HTTP endpoints as tools |
The Two Tools Every Agent Needs
Regardless of framework, your agent needs two core capabilities:1. Discover
2. Execute
