Build AI Apps with MCP Server: Working with Box Files

This course builds a language model app that works with files stored in Box. It uses the tools exposed by the Box MCP server to find documents and pull the text out of them, so the app reads real content rather than only answering from memory.

From one assistant to several agents

The second half of the description takes the same app and splits it into a multi-agent system, where separate agents communicate using the A2A protocol. That step moves the course from a single assistant reading files to a set of cooperating components.

Who should look at it

• Developers who want to see how an MCP server is consumed from application code.
• Anyone curious how A2A sits alongside MCP when agents need to coordinate.

Expect the focus to be on wiring rather than theory: file discovery, text extraction and agent messaging make up the path through the material.
