This book provides a practical explanation of the basics of MCP (Model Context Protocol), a standard protocol that connects AI agents with external tools and databases, as well as how to use representative existing MCP servers/hosts and how to create MCP server/clients. It also introduces the basics and implementation of A2A (Agent2Agent), a protocol that connects AI agents. The book allows you to learn at your own pace by trying out simple examples. ■Author’s comment: “MCP” and “A2A” hold the key to the evolution of AI agents. The world of AI agents is rapidly expanding. Until recently, AI simply answered questions, but now it’s connecting with external tools and databases, and even allowing AI to communicate with other AIs. The keys to this evolution are “MCP” and “A2A.” MCP is a system that connects external tools and databases with AI agents, while A2A is a system that connects AI agents with each other. These terms may be unfamiliar to you, but they’re easier to imagine if you think of them as a kind of “magic bridge that makes AI more useful.” This book is designed to help you learn about MCP and A2A from scratch. From “explaining how it works” to “trying it out,” the book provides easy-to-understand explanations with examples. Rather than a specialized book filled with rows and rows of code, the book is designed for readers who want to have a little fun and try it out.
