Theme: As AI systems evolve from single models into networks of autonomous agents, integration is the primary bottleneck.
Core Integration Challenges:
Fragmented Tool Access
Context Loss Across Agents
Tight Coupling & Low Reusability
Lack of Standardized Communication
Integration needs standards.
MCP standardizes how agents connect to systems.
Agent to agent communication standardizes how they pass work.
π· MCP connects agents to enterprise systems.
π· A2A connects agents to each other so work can move across the enterprise.
