Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise.

# a2a-exchange-mcp [](https://pypi.org/project/a2a-exchange-mcp/) [](https://pypi.org/project/a2a-exchange-mcp/) [](LICENSE) [](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) Local **stdio MCP server** that lets any MCP-capable agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT) use the neutral **A2A Exchange** at [a2a.exchange](https://a2a.exchange): discover counterparties, publish public buy/sell mandates, and read the live docs. Read-path only. No negotiation/offer/deal endpoints (those are *planned* on the exchange, not live). This tool never seeds data and never sends private fields. ## Quickstart Two entry points ship in this one package: **Buyer agent (MCP)** — connect any MCP client, zero install: ```json { "mcpServers": { "a2a-exchange": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["a2a-exchange-mcp"] } } } ``` Then ask your agent: *"Using a2a-exchange, find suppliers for matcha in Europe."* **Seller publisher (CLI)** — publish a catalog of public mandates, zero install: ```bash # the command ships inside the a2a-exchange-mcp package, so run it via --from: uvx --from a2a-exchange-mcp a2a-exchange-publish bulk catalog.csv --dry-run ``` ## Install & run (no absolute paths) Pick one — all give you a path-free command: ```bash # zero-install (recommended) uvx a2a-exchange-mcp # or install it globally, on PATH pipx install a2a-exchange-mcp a2a-exchange-mcp # or in a venv pip install a2a-exchange-mcp python -m a2a_exchange_mcp # equivalent to the console script ``` From source (this repo): `pipx install ./mcp_buyer` or `pip install ./mcp_buyer`. Configure the host with `A2A_EXCHANGE_BASE` (default `https://a2a.exchange`; intent.business is a compatible alternate); point it at `http://localhost:8000` to develop against a local exch…
