Case Study: Google builds secure agent-to-agent workflows with WorkOS

Google explores A2A and MCP with WorkOS, free up to 1M monthly active users

Google, a leader in technology, needed a way to seamlessly coordinate multiple specialized AI agents from different frameworks or vendors. The challenge was enabling these separate systems to discover each other, securely communicate, and collaborate on complex, multi-step tasks without relying on brittle, custom-built integrations. To address this, they developed the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol.

WorkOS provides a case study explaining how Google's A2A protocol offers a vendor-neutral solution. The protocol allows diverse agents to interoperate using standard web technologies like HTTPS and JSON-RPC, providing enterprise-grade security and support for long-running tasks. By using A2A in conjunction with Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), developers can build robust, multi-agent systems. This approach gives developers framework freedom, reduces the need for custom glue code, and future-proofs investments by being designed for multimodal agent collaboration.
