Re: matching AI agents to protocols

I asked ChatGPT how this exchange relates to Value Chains documented in StratML Part 2 format.  It says:
"This exchange relates quite directly to value chains and can be explicitly mapped into StratML Part 2 format using the core value chain structure:   
   - Inputs: Resources, protocols, and tools that enable generative AI to access and process external data.
   - Input Processing: The use of protocols like MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) to facilitate AI interactions.
   - Outputs: The communication, collaboration, and service delivery achieved through generative AI systems using these protocols.
   - Output Processing: The real-world application of these outputs to solve problems or enable agent collaboration.
   - Outcomes: Enhanced interoperability, better coordination among AI agents, and potentially more trustworthy, effective AI systems.
The value chain lens reveals that this exchange is centered on how inputs (protocols) are processed and selected, which directly impacts the outputs (functional AI capabilities) and ultimately the outcomes (enhanced multi-agent collaboration and service access)."

 Generative AI can be trained to use protocols such as MCP and A2A to access external services. A2A focuses on enabling communication and collaboration between multiple agents, while MCP focuses on facilitating interactions between a single agent and external tools and data sources.

Dave, while I am trying to wrap my head around the topic, and make a clearer exposition of my representationI wonder how true that Generative gents doesn't use MCP, as you suggest (or at least, as I understand)The article below says otherwise, but I am not sure how true is what the article says eitherhttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/educatordeveloperblog/unlocking-ai-potential-exploring-the-model-context-protocol-with-ai-toolkit/4411198I mean, I wonder if it s just that it s your personal choice  of some develoers of implementing generativie AIwith or without MCP
