A "server" sample: https://github.com/google/A2A/tree/main/samples/js/src/server https://github.com/google/A2A/tree/main/samples/js/src/serve...
So it looks like the point is that it keeps the connection/context open for multiple interactions vs. MCP, which is more like pure request-response?
- qntty 2y agoI don't know if it would be right to call MCP pure request/response, since unlike HTTP, it's a stateful protocol.
- esafak 2y agoMCP is stateful. They are currently developing stateless support. https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/discussions/102 https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol...
- flakiness 2y agoOh good to know, thanks for the clarification!
