Build AI Agents with A2A & MCP using xpander.ai and Amazon Bedrock

​This workshop is for developers and AI Agent builders who want to bring AI into their daily workflow. If you wished you could leverage AI Agents to increase your dev super powers directly from your IDE, this workshop is for you.

​​With native MCP client support in your IDE, you can handle everything - tasks, CI/CD, dashboards, logs, configs - without jumping between 5 different tools. No more tab overload, just do everything from your IDE by calling AI Agents.

​​We’ll use the xpander.ai AI Agents platform and Amazon Bedrock to build a powerful setup with multiple AI Agents, no-effort tool integrations, MCP triggering, A2A agent handoffs, and more. ​In under two hours, you’ll leave with working AI Agents you can apply to your real development workflows.
