Make agents built on different frameworks work together. We implement the A2A protocol so your agents can discover each other, delegate tasks and share results securely.
✓ Agent Cards & discovery ✓ Auth on every request ✓ Streaming & long-running tasks ✓ Works alongside MCP
Quick answer
What is the A2A protocol?
Agent2Agent (A2A) is an open standard for communication between AI agents. Google announced it in April 2025 and donated it to the Linux Foundation in June 2025, with founding members including AWS, Cisco, Microsoft, Salesforce, SAP and ServiceNow. Each agent publishes an Agent Card describing its skills, endpoint and authentication. Other agents send it tasks over standard web transports and receive status updates and results (artifacts).
What does this service include?
Codersarts engineers define Agent Cards for your agents, implement A2A servers and clients, add authentication, connect agents across frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, OpenAI Agents SDK, custom), and test complete cross-agent tasks.
How long and how much?
Starter from $199 (3 days, 2 agents). Standard $399 (5 days, up to 4 agents with auth and streaming). Advanced $799 (10 days, production setup with MCP tools, monitoring and docs).
Is this your problem?
Your teams built agents on different frameworks, and they can't talk to each other
Every new agent connection needs custom API glue that breaks
A vendor's agent (CRM, ITSM, ERP) can't hand work to your in-house agents
Long-running agent tasks have no shared way to report status or results
You're not sure whether you need A2A, MCP, or both
Security asks how agents authenticate to each other, and there's no good answer
A2A vs MCP: what's the difference?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) | A2A (Agent2Agent) | |
Connects | An agent ↔ tools & data | An agent ↔ other agents |
Typical use | Query a database, call an API, read files | Delegate a task to a specialist agent, collaborate across teams/vendors |
Unit of work | Tool call | Task (with lifecycle, messages and artifacts) |
Discovery | Client is configured with servers | Agents publish Agent Cards for discovery |
Long-running work | Typically short calls | Built-in task states, streaming and push notifications |
Governance | Agentic AI Foundation (Linux Foundation) | Linux Foundation A2A project |
In practice, production multi-agent systems use both: MCP gives each agent its tools, and A2A lets agents collaborate.
Why agent integrations break without a standard
Point-to-point glue code: N agents need up to N×(N−1) custom connections, which become fragile and hard to secure.
No discovery: agents can't find out what another agent can do or how to call it.
No task lifecycle: there's no shared way to say "working", "needs input", "completed" or "failed", or to stream progress.
Framework lock-in: agents built in LangGraph, CrewAI, ADK or custom code don't speak the same language.
Weak auth: internal agent calls often skip proper authentication and authorization.
A2A replaces custom glue with one standard interface for discovery, tasks, streaming and auth.
How A2A works (simple view)
Client agent Remote agent (A2A server)
│ 1. GET /.well-known/agent-card.json ───► Agent Card: skills, endpoint, auth, transports
│ 2. Authenticate (OAuth / API key / mTLS)
│ 3. message/send or message/stream ───► Creates a Task
│ ◄── 4. Status updates (SSE): submitted → working → input-required → completed
│ ◄── 5. Artifacts: text, files, structured data
│ 6. Optional push notifications (webhooks) for long-running tasks
Transports in the spec (v0.3): JSON-RPC 2.0, gRPC, and HTTP+JSON/REST over HTTPS.
What we do
Scope check: which agents, what each one does, which tasks cross between them, and the trust boundaries.
Agent Cards: define skills, inputs/outputs, endpoints, transports and auth schemes for each agent.
A2A servers: wrap each agent (LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude Agent SDK or custom) with an A2A endpoint using the official SDKs.
A2A clients / orchestrator: let agents discover and delegate to each other, or route through a supervisor.
Auth & security: OAuth 2.0/OIDC, API keys or mTLS; per-skill authorization; input validation; rate limits.
Streaming & async: SSE progress updates, input-required handoffs, push notifications for long-running tasks.
MCP integration (Advanced): connect agents to tools through MCP, alongside A2A for collaboration.
Testing & monitoring: end-to-end task tests, failure and timeout cases, tracing and logs.

FAQ
What is the A2A protocol? Agent2Agent (A2A) is an open standard that lets AI agents discover each other, delegate tasks and exchange results securely. Google announced it in April 2025, and it's now governed by the Linux Foundation, with members including AWS, Cisco, Microsoft, Salesforce, SAP and ServiceNow.
What's the difference between A2A and MCP? MCP connects an agent to tools and data. A2A connects agents to other agents. Most production multi-agent systems use both.
How much does A2A integration cost? From $199 to connect 2 agents. Standard ($399) connects up to 4 agents with OAuth and streaming. Advanced ($799) adds production setup, push notifications, MCP tools and monitoring.
Do my agents need to be built on the same framework? No. A2A is framework-independent. We can connect LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude Agent SDK and custom agents.
What is an Agent Card? A JSON document an agent publishes, typically at /.well-known/agent-card.json, describing its skills, endpoint, supported transports and authentication, so other agents can discover and call it.
Does A2A support long-running tasks? Yes. Tasks move through states (submitted, working, input-required, completed, failed), with streaming updates over SSE and optional push notifications.
Is A2A secure? A2A uses standard web security: HTTPS, and auth schemes declared in the Agent Card (OAuth/OIDC, API keys, mTLS). We add per-skill authorization, input validation, rate limits and audit logs.
Do we need A2A if all our agents are in one framework? Often not at first. A framework's built-in orchestration may be enough. A2A is valuable when agents span teams, frameworks, vendors or deployments. We advise during the scope check.
Which languages are supported? Official A2A SDKs cover Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, .NET and Go.
Do we own the code? Yes. You get the full source code, Agent Cards and documentation, and we sign an NDA on request.
