MCP & A2A Unplugged with John Capobianco
Send us a textAnthropic introduced MCP (Model Context Protocol) at the tail end of 2024, and Google launched the Agent2Agent Protocol (A2A) just this month. MCP standardizes connections between AI Agents/LLMs and external data/tools, kind of like ‘USB-C for AI’. A2A standardizes communication & collaboration between AI Agents, like a universal language / ‘Lingua Franca’ for Agents. Both of these protocols are groundbreaking in their own right, and John Capobianco joins the podcast to explain why. In this episode, we start with high-level basics and end with doing an unscripted live demonstration. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the impact and applications of these two innovations.Where to Find John CapobiancoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-capobianco-644a1515/Twitter: https://x.com/John_CapobiancoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@johncapobianco2527GitHub: https://github.com/automateyournetworkShow LinksModel Context Protocol (MCP): https://modelcontextprotocol.io/Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol: https://github.com/google/agent-to-agentRFC 4594 (QoS): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4594Lang Graph: https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraphAgent Development Kit (ADK): https://github.com/google/agent-development-kitSelector AI: https://www.selector.ai/Follow, Like, and Subscribe!Podcast: https://www.thecloudgambit.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheCloudGambitLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thecloudgambitTwitter: https://twitter.com/TheCloudGambitTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thecloudgambit
