About this course
Overview
This live, hands-on workshop will give you the skills to design, build, and deploy advanced multi-server MCP architectures and implement the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol — enabling collaborative AI systems in manufacturing.
You'll learn how to configure and orchestrate multiple MCP servers, manage inter-server communication and authentication, and design multi-agent systems where specialized AI agents collaborate to solve complex industrial challenges. Along the way, you'll see how these technologies enable scalable, distributed intelligence for digital manufacturing systems.
Whether you're building on MCP fundamentals or looking to implement agent-to-agent collaboration, this workshop provides the architecture patterns, tools, and real-world examples you need to create production-ready agentic systems.
By the end, you'll know exactly how to architect multi-server MCP environments and orchestrate collaborative AI agents for today's needs and tomorrow's autonomous factories.
