You need to modify the `claude_desktop_config.json` file and set `MCP_TRANSPORT` to `stdio`. Use the provided `config_creator.py` script to automate this process.

Question 9

How do I use the A2A MCP Server with Claude Web?

Accepted Answer

Start the MCP server with the streamable-http transport, enable the MCP URL connection in Claude's Tools menu, and use the server's URL (e.g., `http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp`).

Question 10

What MCP tools are available?

Accepted Answer

Available tools include `register_agent`, `list_agents`, `unregister_agent`, `send_message`, `send_message_stream`, `get_task_result`, and `cancel_task`.

Question 11

How do I register an A2A agent?

Accepted Answer

Use the `register_agent` tool with the agent's URL.

Question 12

How do I send a message to an agent?

Accepted Answer
