Agent Frameworks & Tooling
36 companies in this category
Overview
Agent Frameworks & Tooling encompasses the developer infrastructure for building, deploying, and connecting AI agents. At the protocol level, Anthropic's MCP (Model Context Protocol), Google's A2A (Agent-to-Agent), and standards like AXTP provide the interoperability layers that let agents discover and use external tools.
At the platform level, companies like thirdweb, Cloudflare, and Blockrun provide full-stack infrastructure with wallets, payment rails, and chain connectivity. The tooling layer also includes specialized frameworks for specific use cases: Bankr for social crypto trading, Starkbot Cloud for autonomous Rust-based agents, and Phantom's MCP server for wallet operations.
This is the picks-and-shovels layer of the agentic commerce gold rush.
