Agentic Interface Design

Design APIs, MCP servers, A2A protocols, SDKs, and documentation for a world where AI agents are first-class platform consumers — covering discovery, tool descriptions, connectors, skills architecture, and the new consumption patterns that AI-native workflows demand.

Our Approach

The interface layer between platforms and their consumers is being rewritten. Human developers still matter — but they're now joined by AI copilots that need structured context, autonomous agents that need discoverable tools, and multi-agent systems that need standardised protocols to collaborate. Designing for this new reality requires rethinking APIs, documentation, and developer experience from the ground up.

We design agentic interfaces across three layers: the protocol layer (MCP servers for tool and resource exposure, A2A protocols for agent collaboration), the capability layer (skills, tools, and connector definitions that agents can discover, evaluate, and compose into workflows), and the consumption layer (documentation, examples, and onboarding surfaces that work for both humans reading docs and agents parsing structured descriptions).

The engagement moves through three phases: consumption pattern research and protocol architecture (weeks one to three), MCP server design, API surface redesign, and skills architecture (weeks three to six), and implementation with documentation-as-interface and integration testing (weeks six to eight).
