🧠 Why Even Tech Giants Feel FOMO (And Why Agents Are the Future)

You know what's common in startups, developers, and even tech giants?
FOMO. Fear of missing out on the next big thing.

And right now, that "big thing" is AI agents.

Ever since Anthropic released MCP, the landscape started shifting. Now even Google is deep-diving into agentic workflows. Why?

Because no one wants to be late to the Agent Party. 🎉


Let’s break it down with a fun analogy. 🍕


Meet the Characters

Imagine you're using Zomato and you say:

"Hey, I want to have some pizza."

Zomato is smart now — it’s powered by an AI agent.
But here's the thing:

👉 Zomato cannot directly talk to PizzaHut’s database.
👉 Nor can it contact McDee’s secret sauce (MongoDB).

So, what does it do?


Enter MCP & A2A: The Real MVPs

  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how agents talk to their own data — like ordering from their own kitchen.

  • A2A (Agent-to-Agent) is how they talk to each other — like calling PizzaHut and McDee for collaboration.

Here’s how it looks visually:


Behind the Scenes

  • PizzaHut’s agent connects to a PostgreSQL database via MCP.

  • McDee’s agent uses MCP to access MongoDB.

  • Zomato’s agent, powered by Kafka + Postgres, says:

    “Hey PizzaHut Agent, what pizzas do you have?”
    “Hey McDee Agent, any burgers to go with it?”

All this through A2A protocol. Smooth, secure, and scalable.


The Future is Inter-Agent

Today, everyone’s building apps.
Tomorrow, you’ll be building agents that talk to each other.

This isn’t just integration.
It’s cooperation.
And MCP + A2A is how they pull it off.


Final Thought

Zomato never directly talks to PizzaHut.
It respects boundaries.
But with A2A, they’re still besties. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

And that’s the future of composable, intelligent systems.


Want to build your own agents?
Start with MCP.
Level up with A2A.

Because FOMO isn't just for devs. Even Zomato doesn’t wanna miss that pizza party. 🍕
