Agent Protocol Landscape - The industry is converging on three open protocols for agent interoperability: AG-UI (Agent-User Interaction), MCP (Model Context Protocol), and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) [1][2] - These protocols are complementary layers of a stack, not competing standards, facilitating a universal language for agents [2] - Protocols enable integration of frameworks like LangGraph, CrewAI, and Agno into the same frontend without rewriting UI logic [3] Protocol Functionality - AG-UI enables bidirectional connection between agentic backends and frontends, creating interactive agents within applications [1][2] - MCP standardizes how agents connect to tools, data, and workflows [2] - A2A facilitates multi-agent coordination, enabling task delegation and intent sharing across systems [2][5] Framework Integration - CopilotKit unifies the entire protocol stack into one framework, providing generative UI support and production-ready infrastructure [3][4] - An example workflow involves a LangGraph agent pulling data via MCP, delegating analysis to a CrewAI agent via A2A, and streaming results to a React app via AG-UI [6] Development Focus - Protocols allow developers to focus on building agent capabilities instead of integration mechanics, as interoperability is handled automatically [3]
