Name: Empowering AI Agents with MCP and A2A
Start: 2025-06-24T23:00:00.000Z
Location: Ion Prototyping Lab

As AI agents mature, the need for standardized communication between models, tools, and even other agents becomes critical. In this session, we’ll dive into two emerging protocols—Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent Protocol (A2A)—that are poised to become the “USB-C” and “Bluetooth” of the AI ecosystem. You’ll learn how MCP and A2A work, why they matter for building robust, modular agent architectures, and see MCP in action with a hands-on live demo running entirely on your local machine.
\#\#\# 🧠 What to Expect
In this session, we’ll:

* **Demystify MCP**

Understand how the Model Context Protocol standardizes LLM↔tool exchanges for seamless integration.
* **Explore A2A**

Learn how the Agent-to-Agent Protocol enables peer-to-peer messaging and task delegation among autonomous agents.
* **Compare & Contrast**

Highlight the similarities, differences, and complementary use cases of MCP vs. A2A.
* **See MCP Live**

Walk through setting up a local MCP server, registering tools, and executing a full JSON-RPC exchange in real time.

You’ll leave ready to start plugging MCP and A2A into your own AI pipelines—no custom glue code required.
