Elastic Agent Builder provides comprehensive integration options for programmatic access and automation.
These interfaces enable you to build integrations with other applications and extend Agent Builder's capabilities to fit your specific requirements.
Most users will probably want to integrate with Agent Builder using MCP or A2A, but you can also work programmatically with tools, agents, and conversations using the Kibana APIs.
- MCP server: A standardized interface that allows external MCP hosts (such as Claude Desktop or Cursor) to access Elastic Agent Builder tools.
- A2A server: Agent-to-agent communication endpoints that follow the A2A protocol specification, enabling external A2A clients to interact with Elastic Agent Builder agents.
- Kibana API: RESTful APIs for working with Elastic Agent Builder programmatically. Try the API tutorial for a hands-on introduction.
To authenticate a programmatic client with an API key, refer to Create API keys for Elastic Agent Builder APIs. MCP hosts can also use OAuth on Serverless. Refer to MCP server authentication.
