🔥LAB513: Build A2A and MCP Systems using SWE Agents and agent-framework

Microsoft Azure AI Foundry Discord Azure AI Foundry Developer Forum

Session Description

Learn to leverage Microsoft Agent Framework, the new unified platform from Semantic Kernel and AutoGen engineering teams, to build A2A compatible agents similar to magnetic-one. Use SWE Agents (GitHub Copilot coding agent and Codex with Azure OpenAI models) to accelerate development. Implement MCP tools for secure enterprise agentic workflows. Experience hands-on building, deploying, and orchestrating multi-agent systems with pre-release capabilities. Note: Contains embargoed content.

📁 Repository

For detailed lab instructions and hands-on exercises, navigate to the spec-to-agents repository. The Skillable related instructions can be found in lab/instructions directory.

🧠 Learning Outcomes

By the end of this session, learners will be able to:

  • Build A2A (Agent-to-Agent) compatible agents using Microsoft Agent Framework
  • Implement MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for secure enterprise workflows
  • Deploy and orchestrate multi-agent workflows

🌟 Microsoft Learn MCP Server

Install in VS Code

The Microsoft Learn MCP Server is a remote MCP Server that enables clients like GitHub Copilot and other AI agents to bring trusted and up-to-date information directly from Microsoft's official documentation. Get started by using the one-click button above for VSCode or access the mcp.json file included in this repo.

For more information, setup instructions for other dev clients, and to post comments and questions, visit our Learn MCP Server GitHub repo at https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/MCP. Find other MCP Servers to connect your agent to at https://mcp.azure.com.
