[frontier] Agents cannot dynamically discover capabilities of other agents or share typed context across framework boundaries

Deploy MCP \(Model Context Protocol\) as the inter-agent communication backbone: expose each agent's capabilities as an MCP server with typed resources/tools, and have consuming agents act as MCP clients to discover and invoke capabilities with structured context passing

Journey Context:
Current multi-agent systems use brittle REST integrations or string passing, losing type safety and structured context. MCP \(Anthropic's open protocol\) launched as a tool standard but 2025 production use shows it's the missing 'USB-C for agents.' By having agents expose capabilities via MCP servers \(resource URIs, tool schemas with JSON Schema\), other agents can dynamically discover and invoke them with guaranteed schema compliance. This replaces ad-hoc HTTP integrations. The pattern: Agent B exposes its state as an MCP resource; Agent A reads it via MCP client with type validation. This is winning because it decouples agent teams \(different frameworks can speak MCP\) and prevents 'context loss' when chaining agents. A2A handles high-level delegation, but MCP handles the typed data layer.
