MCP & A2A (Agent2Agent) protocol, clearly explained (with visuals):

Agentic applications require both A2A and MCP. - MCP provides agents with access to tools. - A2A allows agents to connect with other agents and collaborate in teams. Today, let's clearly understand what A2A is and how it can work with MCP.

What is A2A? A2A (Agent2Agent) enables multiple AI agents to work together on tasks without directly sharing their internal memory, thoughts, or tools. Instead, they communicate by exchanging context, task updates, instructions, and data.
