INSIDE THIS BOOK, YOU WILL:
◊ Build CodeForge Pod, a real headless multi-agent CLI tool, from an empty folder to a production-ready release
◊ Connect a live MCP server and watch your agent read, write, and run real commands on your own machine
◊ Engineer a self-correcting orchestration loop that catches a bad attempt and gives it exactly one honest retry
◊ Publish a real Agent Card and complete a genuine task handoff with a stranger’s agent, over A2A
◊ Build safety in from day one: workspace jailing, dry-run previews, and diff approval before any real write
◊ Ship it for real: package a pipx-installable release
One model wearing four hats was never a team. This book is where you build one that actually is.
WHY THIS MATTERS RIGHT NOW
MCP is now the de facto standard for connecting AI models to real tools, with native support across every major provider. A2A reached its production 1.0 milestone in 2026, backed by 150+ organizations under Linux Foundation governance. Together they form the two-layer architecture, tools inward, agents outward, that enterprise teams are standardizing on for what comes next.
Together, Sharanam and Vaishali have co-authored more than 45 technical books, committed to the belief that the best way to learn a system is to build one that actually works
PLAN. BUILD. TEST. REVIEW.
Engineer multi-agent systems that actually work together, in the real world.
