Standards, explained briefly
Current versions, governance and when to use each one.
MCP
Current revision 2026-07-28The standard way to connect an agent to tools, data and services. One server works in every MCP client.
A2A
Stable, v1.0.1 (May 2026)Lets independent agents discover each other, delegate tasks and stream results, whoever built them.
SKILL.md
Supported by 45+ agent productsPortable folders of instructions, scripts and references that an agent loads only when a task needs them.
AGENTS.md
Read by 20+ coding agentsA README for coding agents: build steps, test commands and conventions in one file at the repo root.
ACP
40+ agents implement itLets any editor drive any coding agent, the way LSP lets any editor use any language server.
UCP
Stable, v2026-08-25; lodging in draftCommon building blocks for agents to discover products, build carts, check out and handle orders.
