The Agent Development Kit (ADK) is Google's open-source, code-first framework for building, evaluating, and deploying AI agents and multi-agent systems. It was unveiled on April 9, 2025 at Google Cloud NEXT and is now available for Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, and Kotlin. ADK supports hierarchical multi-agent architectures, a broad ecosystem of models and tools (including MCP and the A2A protocol), and can be deployed locally or on Google Cloud (Cloud Run, GKE, Agent Runtime). The framework is licensed under Apache 2.0 and free to use; costs only arise from the underlying models or cloud infrastructure used.
