A2A Swift SDK

---

✨ Features

• A2A Protocol Compliance: Build agentic applications that adhere to the Agent2Agent (A2A) v1.0 Protocol Specification.
• Client & Server SDKs: High-level APIs for both serving agentic functionality (A2AServer) and consuming it (A2AClient).
• Multi-Transport Support: Protocol bindings for REST and JSON-RPC over SSE, with automatic transport negotiation.
• Extensible & Pluggable: Extension points for custom transports, authentication middleware, and task store backends.
• v0.3 Compatibility: Transparent backward-compatibility layer for legacy A2A v0.3 servers.

Note: The SDK version is distinct from the A2A specification version. The supported protocol version is 1.0.

🚀 Getting Started

Requires Swift 5.9+, Xcode 15+, and one of: iOS 16 / macOS 13 / tvOS 16 / watchOS 9 / visionOS 1

Add the package to your Package.swift:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/BBC6BAE9/a2a-swift", from: "1.0.0"),
],
targets: [
    // Client only
    .target(name: "YourTarget", dependencies: ["A2AClient"]),

    // Server only
    .target(name: "YourTarget", dependencies: ["A2AServer"]),

    // Both
    .target(name: "YourTarget", dependencies: ["A2AClient", "A2AServer"]),
]

💡 Examples

Server

1. Implement your agent logic by conforming to AgentExecutor:

   import A2AServer
   import A2ACore
   
   struct EchoExecutor: AgentExecutor {
       func execute(context: ExecutorContext) -> AsyncThrowingStream<AgentEvent, Error> {
           AsyncThrowingStream { continuation in
               var done = TaskStatusUpdateEvent()
               done.taskID = context.taskID
               done.status = TaskStatus.with {
                   \$0.state = .completed
                   \$0.message = context.message
               }
               continuation.yield(.statusUpdate(done))
               continuation.finish()
           }
       }
   }
   

2. Build the request handler and server:

   let agentCard = AgentCard.with {
       \$0.name = "Echo Agent"
       \$0.description_p = "Echoes your message back"
       \$0.version = "1.0.0"
       \$0.capabilities = AgentCapabilities.with { \$0.streaming = true }
   }
   
   let handler = DefaultRequestHandler(executor: EchoExecutor())
   let server = A2AServer(handler: handler, agentCard: agentCard)
   

3. Dispatch requests from your HTTP framework (Vapor, Hummingbird, etc.):

   let req = ServerRequest(method: method, path: path, body: body, headers: headers)
   let result = await server.handle(req)
   // Write result.statusCode / result.headers / result.body to your response
   

Client

1. Resolve an AgentCard to discover how an agent is exposed:

   import A2AClient
   
   let resolver = AgentCardResolver(url: "https://agent.example.com")
   let card = try await resolver.resolve()
   

2. Create a client — transport is negotiated automatically from the card:

   let client = A2AClient(url: "https://agent.example.com")
   

3. Send requests:

   import A2ACore
   
   let msg = A2ACore.Message.with {
       \$0.messageID = UUID().uuidString
       \$0.role = .user
       \$0.parts = [Part.with { \$0.text = TextPart.with { \$0.text = "Hello!" } }]
   }
   
   let response = try await client.messageSend(msg)
   

4. Or stream responses over SSE:

   for try await event in client.messageStream(msg) {
       switch event.result {
       case .statusUpdate(let e): print("State:", e.status.state)
       case .artifactUpdate(let e): print("Artifact:", e.artifact.name)
       default: break
       }
   }

🔧 Middleware (Handlers)

Chain handlers to intercept every request/response cycle:

let client = A2AClient(
    url: "https://agent.example.com",
    handlers: [
        LoggingHandler(level: .debug),
        AuthHandler(credentialsService: myCredentialStore),
        ExtensionActivator(extensionURIs:
            "https://a2aprotocol.ai/extensions/thinking/v1"
        ),
    ]
)

Implement your own by extending PassthroughContextualHandler:

class RetryHandler: PassthroughContextualHandler {
    override func handleRequest(_ request: A2ARequest) async throws -> [String: Any] {
        // Modify or log before sending
        return try await next(request)
    }
}
