FAQPage Schema
How do I enable multi-agent interoperability across different AI vendors?

Multi-agent interoperability is enabled by the A2A protocol, which allows AI agents from different vendors like claude-code and gemini-cli to discover each other and exchange messages using standard JSON-RPC, gRPC, or HTTP+JSON bindings.

What is the A2A protocol for agent-to-agent communication?

The A2A protocol is a standard for agent-to-agent communication that defines how agents discover each other via well-known cards, manage task lifecycles, and send real-time updates through streaming and push notifications.

How do I set up push notifications for long-running tasks across multiple agents?

Push notifications for long-running tasks are configured using the A2A protocol's task lifecycle management, allowing agents to register for real-time updates and receive streaming data as tasks progress.

Does the A2A protocol support JSON-RPC and gRPC bindings?

Yes, the A2A protocol supports JSON-RPC, gRPC, and HTTP+JSON bindings for message exchange, adhering to official authentication and security schemes to ensure secure cross-vendor agent communication.

How do agents discover each other using the A2A protocol?

Agent discovery in the A2A protocol uses well-known cards and registries, allowing AI agents to locate each other, establish communication channels, and coordinate tasks across different platforms.

Can I use A2A for cross-vendor interoperability between claude-code and openai-codex?

Yes, A2A enables cross-vendor interoperability across agents like claude-code, openai-codex, and gemini-cli, allowing them to exchange messages and manage tasks via standardized JSON-RPC and gRPC bindings.
