✨ What is Elkar?

Elkar is an open-source framework designed to coordinate multiple AI agents, even across different companies or systems.

Use it to:

• Send tasks to any agent via API
• Track long-running jobs asynchronously
• Stream workflows between agents in real-time
• Browse and manage task history for visibility

Built for developers and teams who want to orchestrate autonomous agent networks — without reinventing the wheel.

🧪 Getting Started

1. Clone the repo

📦 Python Package

The Python package provides a simple implementation of the A2A protocol for building and connecting AI agents.

Basic Usage

from elkar import A2AServer, TaskManager

# Create your task manager
task_manager = TaskManager()

# Initialize the A2A server
server = A2AServer(
    task_manager=task_manager,
    host="0.0.0.0",
    port=5000
)

# Start the server
server.start()

Features

• Full A2A protocol implementation
• Built-in task management
• Support for streaming responses
• Push notifications
• State transition history
• CORS support
• Custom authentication

🖥️ A2A Client

The A2A client is a React + TypeScript application for testing and interacting with A2A-compatible servers.

Features

• Configure server URL (authentication coming soon)
• Send messages to A2A Servers

• Get task details by ID
• Cancel tasks
• Display artifacts returned by agents
• Task management

Getting Started with the Client

1. Install dependencies

cd a2a-client
npm install

2. Start the development server

npm run dev

3. Open your browser at http://localhost:5173
