Agents Assemble - The Healthcare AI Endgame

Overview

Agents Assemble is a Hackathon-style competition hosted on the Devpost platform focusing on interoperable healthcare AI solutions. The challenge centers on building Agents that operate at the intersection of MCP (Model Context Protocol), A2A (Agent-to-Agent communication), and FHIR data standards. The event is conducted online, with the competition and submission process hosted on Prompt Opinion’s platform and the Devpost hub for participation details. The program emphasizes collaboration and standard-based AI toolchains to enable clinicians and healthcare organizations to leverage intelligent agents within real-world workflows.

What is the Challenge

The competition invites teams to develop either a Superpower powered by MCP or a Full Agent powered by A2A to address healthcare workflows. The aim is to create AI-enabled tools that can be integrated into the Prompt Opinion ecosystem, propagate context via SHARP extensions, and demonstrate end-to-end interoperability using open standards. The platform supports building tools and agents that can talk to each other across ecosystems, enabling multi-agent collaboration.

Why Participate

This event offers a structured pathway to build real-world healthcare AI, with clear incentives:

• Prize pool of $25,000 USD in cash, including a Grand Prize of $7,500
• Visibility through the Prompt Opinion Marketplace where successful projects are discoverable by healthcare entities
• Hands-on experience with MCP and A2A, plus SHARP context propagation for healthcare data
• Opportunities to network with leaders in Prompt Opinion and the broader AI healthcare community
• Potential for a deployable, standards-compliant AI solution that can be integrated into clinicians’ workflows

How It Works

Teams register on the Hackathon website and Prompt Opinion platform, then build their MCP server or A2A agent using their own infrastructure and provided references. Participants are encouraged to integrate SHARP extension specs to handle patient IDs and FHIR tokens, and to leverage data from a FHIR server if possible. Projects are published to the Prompt Opinion Marketplace for discoverability, and a demonstration video (under 3 minutes) is required for submission.

Schedule and Eligibility

• Registration and building phase begin with the prompt to sign up for the Hackathon and Prompt Opinion account.
• Submission period runs from Monday, March 4, 2026 to Monday, May 11, 2026.
• Winners are announced around Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
• The event emphasizes open standards, interoperability, and absence of vendor lock-in, encouraging teams to construct multi-agent workspaces by composing several specialized agents.

Prizes and Judging

• Prizes total $25,000 USD in cash, with a first prize of $7,500, second prize of $5,000, third prize of $2,500, and honorable mentions of $1,000 each to multiple winners.
• Projects are judged against criteria including the AI factor, potential impact, and feasibility, with emphasis on integration capabilities, data privacy, and healthcare relevance.

Who Should Attend

Developers, data scientists, healthcare IT professionals, startups, and teams interested in AI-enabled healthcare workflows and interoperability across MCP and A2A paradigms. The event highlights the value of building within an ecosystem that supports open standards and cross-vendor collaboration.

FAQ

The organizers note that judging opportunities may be limited due to high interest, and advise participants to monitor the official channels for updates. The competition emphasizes a collaborative approach and the Open Prompt Opinion platform as the primary venue for submission and publication.
