Google's Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol aims to enable AI assistants to collaboratively work together, unlike working in isolation.A2A turns AI assistants into team players, allowing seamless passing of information and collaboration on tasks.Comparing A2A to Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) reveals different approaches to AI system collaboration.MCP enables AI assistants to access specialized tools, while A2A connects specialized AI assistants to each other.A2A allows for delegation of tasks among specialized AI assistants, facilitating complex problem-solving.MCP provides a standard way for any AI assistant to connect to any tool, enhancing their capabilities.A2A orchestrates tasks among AI assistants, streamlining processes for users without the need for manual intervention.The collaboration between MCP and A2A creates an ecosystem where AI assistants with different capabilities can work together effectively.A2A communication is more human-like, while MCP focuses on structured schema for precise operation.A2A manages tasks through multi-stage processes, while MCP treats operations as individual function calls.
