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. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ ◆ 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.
