Google's A2A — the missing protocol

The Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol standardizes direct communication between independent AI agents. Complementary to MCP, it covers the agent-to-agent relationship via HTTP/JSON-RPC 2.0, Agent Cards, and stateful task lifecycles.

MCP vs Tool Calling — When to Use Which

Tool calling and MCP both connect an LLM to external tools, but at two different levels of abstraction. The first is a stateless API primitive, the second a stateful network protocol with dynamic discovery and exclusive primitives.

Fine-Tuning vs RAG — When to Choose Which

Two strategies for specializing an LLM, two opposing philosophies. One engraves knowledge into the weights, the other consults it on demand. The real debate isn't which is better, but which fits your use case.

Model Context Protocol — how MCP connects LLMs to the world

MCP standardizes how language models access external tools and data. An open protocol, a client-server architecture, a fast-growing ecosystem — and unresolved security issues.
