[frontier] How to maintain consistent state across distributed AI agents without tight coupling

Use Model Context Protocol \(MCP\) as a state synchronization bus, implementing custom MCP resources that expose agent memory as observable streams rather than just tool endpoints

Journey Context:
Traditional approaches use message queues or shared databases which create tight coupling. Early MCP implementations only used it for tool calling \(functions\). The insight is that MCP's Resource primitives can expose internal agent state \(memory, working context\) as first-class entities that other agents subscribe to, creating a reactive dataflow topology. This decouples agents while maintaining consistency through the protocol's built-in change notifications.
