A Go library for running agentic applications as A2A Servers, following the Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol.
- A2A Protocol Compliance: Build agentic applications that adhere to the Agent2Agent (A2A) v1.0 Protocol Specification.
- Client & Server SDKs: High-level APIs for both serving agentic functionality (
a2asrv) and consuming it (a2aclient). - Multi-Transport Support: Protocol bindings for gRPC, REST, and JSON-RPC.
- Extensible & Pluggable: Extension points for bringing your own transport implementations, authentication middlewares, messaging and database backends.
Note: The SDK version is distinct from the A2A specification version. The supported protocol version is exported in the codebase as
a2a.Version
Requires Go 1.24.4 or newer:
go get github.com/a2aproject/a2a-go/v2Visit pkg.go for a full documentation.
For a simple example refer to the helloworld example.
For a full documentation visit pkg.go.dev/a2asrv.
-
Create a transport-agnostic A2A request handler:
var options []a2asrv.RequestHandlerOption = newCustomOptions() var agentExecutor a2asrv.AgentExecutor = newCustomAgentExecutor() requestHandler := a2asrv.NewHandler(agentExecutor, options...)
-
Wrap the handler into a transport implementation:
grpcHandler := a2agrpc.NewHandler(requestHandler) // or jsonrpcHandler := a2asrv.NewJSONRPCHandler(requestHandler) // or restHandler := a2asrv.NewRESTHandler(requestHandler)
-
Register handler with a server, for example:
import "google.golang.org/grpc" ... server := grpc.NewServer() grpcHandler.RegisterWith(server) err := server.Serve(listener) // or http.Handle("/", restOrJSONRPCHandler) err := http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
For a full documentation visit pkg.go.dev/a2aclient.
-
Resolve an
AgentCardto get an information about how an agent is exposed.card, err := agentcard.DefaultResolver.Resolve(ctx)
-
Create a transport-agnostic client from the
AgentCard:var options a2aclient.FactoryOption = newCustomClientOptions() client, err := a2aclient.NewFromCard(ctx, card, options...)
-
The connection is now open and can be used to send requests to a server:
msg := a2a.NewMessage(a2a.MessageRoleUser, a2a.NewTextPart("...")) resp, err := client.SendMessage(ctx, &a2a.SendMessageRequest{Message: msg})
You can find a variety of more detailed examples in the a2a-samples repository.
