Access to ACP without JetBrains AI

Problem

Users who have disabled JetBrains AI for their teams via JetBrains Console wish to work with third-party agents over ACP. However, they encounter an error message preventing the setup of any agents unless the JetBrains AI feature is enabled.

Cause

The central AI Access switch currently applies to external ACP vendors as well as to JetBrains AI features, preventing the desired functionality of adding external agents when AI is disabled for the team or the organization.

Resolution

At present, the feature to allow external ACP agents without enabling JetBrains AI is not available but is under development AIDEV-84. The technical team is actively working on incorporating this functionality, and updates will be shared once it's implemented.
