[frontier] How to share state between heterogeneous agents without tight coupling

Use MCP \(Model Context Protocol\) servers as a standardized memory bus; implement custom MCP resources for agent state and notifications

Journey Context:
Teams currently use ad-hoc REST APIs or message queues between agents, creating N×M integration problems. MCP was designed for tool-calling, but its resource model \(URI-addressable content\) makes it ideal for pub/sub agent communication. Instead of agents calling each other directly, they read/write to MCP resources \(e.g., \`memory://agent-42/plan\`\). This decouples agents while maintaining type safety via MCP's JSON schemas. The alternative \(direct function calling\) creates brittle dependency graphs.
