Two open standards—Model Context Protocol (MCP) for data access and Agent2Agent (A2A) for agent orchestration—have become foundational to enterprise agentic AI deployment, with MCP already in use but A2A adoption still nascent as companies move beyond single-task agents to multi-agent workflows.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents and AI Infrastructure.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
MCP is live and being consumed; A2A adoption is still months away as customers build out multi-agent systems. If you're building agent tooling, orchestration frameworks, or compliance layers for enterprises, the infrastructure your customers need is standardising around these two protocols—and A2A is where the real coordination problems are about to surface.
