How do I install the mcp a2a gateway mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `MCP_TRANSPORT`, `MCP_DATA_DIR`, `PYPI_API_TOKEN` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the MCP A2a Gateway MCP Server?

A gateway server that bridges the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, enabling MCP-compatible AI assistants (like Claude) to seamlessly interact with A2A agents.

What MCP A2a Gateway does

This project serves as an integration layer between two cutting-edge AI agent protocols:

Key capabilities

Agent Management —
Register A2A agents with the bridge server
List all registered agents
Unregister agents when no longer needed
Communication —
Send messages to A2A agents and receive responses
Asynchronous message sending for immediate server response
Stream responses from A2A agents in real-time

Requirements

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed: - Python 3.11+ - uv (for local development)
