MCP and A2A for Multi-Agent Cloud Platforms
A practical pattern to let specialist AI agents collaborate on incidents and remediation.
Single-agent systems become a bottleneck at scale. MCP and A2A protocols allow specialist agents to collaborate safely.
Why Move from One Agent
A monolithic orchestration agent slows feature velocity.
A distributed model lets each domain evolve independently.
How MCP Helps
MCP standardizes how agents expose tools and context.
New capabilities become discoverable services instead of hard-coded branches.
- FinOps agent for cost tools
- Security agent for risk and scan tools
- Dynamic tool selection by orchestrator
A2A Handoff Pattern
A2A enables peer-to-peer task delegation.
This reduces round trips and supports parallel reasoning in complex outages.
