git clone https://github.com/a2aproject/a2a-samples.git
cd a2a-samples/samples/python/agents/helloworld
uv run .

In another terminal, run the client

cd a2a-samples/samples/python/agents/helloworld
uv run test_client.py

You can validate your agent using the agent inspector. Follow the instructions at the a2a-inspector repo.
