Report #57678

[frontier] Agents cannot dynamically discover capabilities and context from other agents in polyglot multi-agent systems

Expose every agent as an MCP \(Model Context Protocol\) server advertising capabilities, resources, and prompts, and consume other agents via MCP clients rather than custom APIs

Journey Context:
Current multi-agent systems use brittle REST/gRPC integrations. MCP \(Model Context Protocol\) is emerging as the 'USB-C for AI'—standardizing how agents expose tools, resources \(files, docs\), and prompts. The frontier pattern is using MCP not just for 'tools' but as the inter-agent bus: Agent A exposes an MCP server, Agent B connects via MCP client, enabling dynamic capability discovery and typed communication without bespoke integration.
