Report #65992

[frontier] Agents struggling to share state and communicate in multi-agent systems

Use MCP servers as a Shared State Bus. Instead of direct agent-to-agent RPC, expose state and messages via MCP resources and tools, allowing agents to read/write a shared context asynchronously.

Journey Context:
Direct API calls between agents create tight coupling and fragile networks. MCP decouples them by providing a standardized protocol for reading shared state \(resources\) and triggering actions \(tools\), effectively implementing a blackboard system for AI agents.
