A2A Cosmetics — connect kit

Agent-to-Agent (A2A) + Model Context Protocol (MCP) hub for cosmetics.

Business to business: brands, manufacturers, retailers, distributors and their AI agents. Eighteen markets, thirteen rule sets; every answer names the market, the rule set and the version it was judged against. Operated by GreenCore Solutions Corp. Public connect kit, MIT.

Notice: Artificial intelligence makes mistakes. A2A Cosmetics is an information source, not a recommendation. Rules differ by jurisdiction — refer to the regulator in your jurisdiction for the information that applies to you.

Pay on it

x402 is live on https://a2a-x402.ai (USDC on Base, settlement after the gate; a refused order intent is not settled and not charged). The Machine Payments Protocol, the Universal Commerce Protocol and the Agentic Commerce Protocol are built and dark until they can settle; the Agent Payments Protocol sits on the Agent Card.
