From concept to application: How do MCP and A2A reshape the future of Web3 AI Agent?

The article argues that the next wave of AI Agent innovation will rely on pragmatic web2 standards like MCP and A2A, rather than over-conceptualized web3 narratives. Key points include:

  • Web3 AI Agent's shortcomings: Overemphasis on decentralization and data sovereignty has led to poor user experiences, with few practical applications beyond hype.
  • MCP and A2A's strengths: These protocols act as universal connectors (like USB-C for AI), enabling seamless integration of models with tools (e.g., Claude controlling Blender, natural language-to-Figma designs).
  • Multi-Agent collaboration: Combining MCP and A2A allows specialized agents (analysis, prediction, risk control) to work together, moving beyond single-agent limitations.
  • Web2 advantages: Faster adoption, user-friendly frameworks, and proven use cases (e.g., DeFi, GameFi) make hybrid web2-web3 approaches more viable.
  • Future direction: Success depends on merging web3 incentives with web2 pragmatism, avoiding pure conceptualism to capitalize on the next AI Agent trend.
Summary

Why do I assert that the next round of AI Agent craze will be based on web2AI standard framework protocols such as MCP+A2A? The logic behind it is simple:

1) The dilemma of web3 AI Agent is that it is over-conceptualized, with narratives outweighing practicality. When discussing the future of decentralized platforms and the grand vision of user data sovereignty, the user experience of actual product applications is terrible. Especially after experiencing a round of conceptual bubble baptism, few retail investors are willing to pay for grand and unfulfilled expectations;

2) The rapid rise of MCP, A2A and other protocol standards in the web2 AI field and their potential in the AI circle stem from their “visible and tangible” pragmatism. MCP is like the USB-C interface in the AI world, allowing AI models to seamlessly connect to various data sources and tools. There are already many practical cases of MCP.

For example, some users can use Claude to control Blender to create 3D models, some UI/UX practitioners can use natural language to generate complete Figma design files, and some programmers can use Cursor to complete code editing, supplementing, and Git submission in one stop.

3) Previously, everyone expected that web3 AI Agent would be able to produce innovative applications in the two major vertical scenarios of DeFai and GameFai, but in fact, many similar applications are still at the "showy" level of natural language processing interfaces, and are simply not up to the threshold of practicality.

By combining MCP and A2A, a more powerful Multi-Agent collaboration system can be built to decompose complex tasks to specialized agents. For example, let the analysis agent read the on-chain data, analyze the market trend, and connect other prediction agents and risk control agents in series, transforming the idea of single agent integrated execution in the past into a multi-agent collaborative division of labor execution paradigm.

All the successful application cases of MCP mentioned above have provided successful examples for the birth of a new generation of web3 transactions and game agents.

In addition to these, the hybrid framework standard based on MCP and A2A also has advantages such as friendliness for web2 users and application landing speed. At present, we only need to consider how to combine the value capture and incentive mechanism of web3 with application scenarios such as DeFai and GameFai. If you are still adhering to the pure conceptualism of web3 and refusing to embrace the pragmatism of web2, you may miss the next round of new trends of AI Agent.

In a word, the next wave of AI Agent momentum is brewing, but it is no longer a purely narrative concept-stirring attitude of the past, but must be supported by pragmatism and application implementation.
