A2A-MCP Agents Workshop

A2A Workshop Banner
In this workshop, you’ll build AI agents with xpander.ai and Amazon Bedrock. You’ll create agents that work together to help with coding and development tasks. When finished, you’ll have a GitHub agent in your IDE, two coding agents, and a manager agent that coordinates them. You’ll use these agents to build and submit a sample application.
