asap-protocol

Active·★ 13·Apache-2.0·Updated 2026-06-11
★ Trending★ Workflow Automation★ Multi-Agent

ASAP is a production-ready protocol for agent-to-agent communication and task coordination. It addresses challenges like connection complexity, state drift, and fragmentation in multi-agent systems. It provides stateful orchestration, MCP integration, and advanced security features.

asap-protocol is currently grouped under Multi-Agent, which makes it easier to evaluate through workflow fit instead of isolated features alone. Based on the available data, it leans most heavily toward Stateful orchestration with task state machine and snapshotting and Multi-agent orchestration with complex workflows. The listed license is Apache-2.0, which is useful when adoption constraints matter. It also shows measurable community traction with 13 GitHub stars.

How it compares

≈asap-protocol sits in the Multi-Agent category, so it makes more sense to evaluate it alongside tools like Microsoft AutoGen instead of in isolation.
≈If your main need is closer to "Multi-agent orchestration with complex workflows", that use case is a better lens for comparison than broad feature checklists alone.
≈asap-protocol uses a Apache-2.0 license, and community traction are both easier to judge in category context.
