[frontier] How to compose capabilities across distributed teams without creating monolithic agent codebases?

Use recursive MCP Server composition—deploy MCP servers that themselves consume other MCP servers as clients, creating a distributed capability graph where agents discover tools via URI rather than hardcoded imports, enabling polyglot agent teams to compose capabilities without shared codebases.

Journey Context:
Monolithic agent repos create coupling—changing a tool requires redeploying the orchestrator. MCP composition treats capabilities as networked services: Server A \(Python\) exposes Git tools, Server B \(TypeScript\) consumes Server A to provide "semantic code search" tools, Agent C discovers B's tools via stdio/SSE. This mirrors microservices but for agent capabilities. Tradeoff: network latency vs. team autonomy and polyglot support. Critical for enterprise agent fleets where different teams own different capabilities.
