We're starting down a path to make Genkit a lot more friendly to AI assisted scenarios, introducing our first take on an experimental Genkit MCP server! When used w/Gemini CLI you can ✅ Get help to write your first flow ✅ Trace your code & debug issues Watch this video 👇

With AI agents possibly on a path to being as ubiquitous as apps, the A2A project under the Linux Foundation is exactly what the industry needs. These things are tough to do well and I’m looking forward to supporting a vibrant open ecosystem. 👏🏾👏🏾
We’re donating @googlecloud's Agent2Agent protocol to the Linux Foundation to create a vendor-agnostic, community-driven standard for AI agent communication. More than 100 companies already support A2A, including every hyperscaler.

Wow, very cool.
This is the best learning environment you'll find anywhere. I created it using a combination of Google's Project IDX and a custom Visual Studio Code extension I built. Project IDX was one of the best discoveries I made late in 2024. It's an AI-based cloud IDE built by Google. I

I expect more tools to increase coverage of MCP
Taking a look at the docs and the client support matrix for @AnthropicAI's MCP this afternoon: nice coverage for @continuedev (open-source!) and @Firebase GenKit:

So yeah, can add tool dependencies using a workaround in Go 1.23, but 1.24 makes it much more elegant. Nice work!
