Deliveries of the extension end 30 September 2026, and technical support ends 31 December 2026. Qt Creator 20 instead ships an ACP Client extension that adds a chat panel using the open Agent Client Protocol, letting developers bring agents like Claude Code, Codex, Qwen Code, or GitHub Copilot directly into the IDE, supported by Qt- and QML-specific MCP services and agent skills. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### When is Qt AI Assistant being retired and what's the end of support date? Qt AI Assistant deliveries end on 30 September 2026, after which the extension will no longer be included in or distributed with Qt Creator. Technical support for Qt AI Assistant ends on 31 December 2026. Qt Group is retiring the single-turn assistant in favor of agentic development tools built around the Agent Client Protocol and Model Context Protocol. _Developers relying on Qt AI Assistant can track this deprecation timeline on daily.dev before support ends._ ### How do I use Claude Code or GitHub Copilot inside Qt Creator? Qt Creator 20 ships an ACP Client extension that adds a chat panel built on the open Agent Client Protocol, letting you bring an existing agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Qwen Code, or GitHub Copilot directly into the IDE. A companion MCP Server extension exposes the IDE's own state and actions to those agents, while Qt- and QML-specific MCP services and agent skills give the agents embedded-specific Qt expertise. _Teams evaluating agent-based IDE workflows follow protocol updates like ACP and MCP on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Qt Creator 20 IDE Released With AI Agent Support](https://daily.dev/posts/qt-creator-20-ide-released-with-ai-agent-support-nsmo4njsv) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Qt Creator 20 Beta Expands AI Integration](https://daily.dev/posts/qt-creator-20-beta-expands-ai-integration-9diraemd2) · Phoronix · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Qt Creator 20 released](https://daily.dev/posts/qt-creator-20-released-armlpjx0o) · Qt · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Qt Creator 20 Beta released](https://daily.dev/posts/qt-creator-20-beta-released-mo4ekt9j6) · Qt · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [AI Assisted Design in Qt Design Studio: AI Assistant Just Got Smarter](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-assisted-design-in-qt-design-studio-ai-assistant-just-got-smarter-jftx7rjva) · Qt · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp), [#qt](https://daily.dev/tags/qt) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/qt-ai-assistant-retires-as-we-invest-in-agentic-development-tools-8mehmdwuo) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Qt AI Assistant Retires As We Invest in Agentic Development Tools","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/qt-ai-assistant-retires-as-we-invest-in-agentic-development-tools-8mehmdwuo","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/qt-ai-assistant-retires-as-we-invest-in-agentic-development-tools-8mehmdwuo"},"datePublished":"2026-09-01T06:57:16.034Z","dateModified":"2026-09-01T12:03:38.004Z","description":"Qt Group is retiring Qt AI Assistant, its single-turn AI coding helper for Qt Creator, in favor of agentic development tools.
