Handler is an open-source client and comprehensive developer toolkit for the A2A Protocol, designed to facilitate robust agent-to-agent communication and interaction.

Handler is built for developers, researchers, and teams involved with AI agents, providing tools to test, debug, integrate, and operate within the A2A ecosystem.

What are Handler's main features?

It offers a CLI for messaging and session management, a TUI for conversational interaction, an MCP Server for host compatibility, a reference Server Agent, and agent card validation.

How does Handler support AI agent development and debugging?

Handler helps by enabling you to send messages, stream responses, manage sessions, inspect tasks, debug interactions, and validate agent cards against the A2A protocol specification.

Can Handler integrate with other AI platforms or hosts?

Yes, its MCP Server exposes A2A capabilities over the Model Context Protocol, allowing compatibility with various MCP-compatible hosts like Claude, Gemini CLI, and Cursor.
