Report #81340

[frontier] MCP servers treated as stateless tool endpoints, causing agent coordination failures in distributed systems

Implement bidirectional state synchronization using MCP rootsChanged notifications and resource subscriptions, treating MCP as a stateful protocol not REST

Journey Context:
Teams default to request-response patterns with MCP, but the spec supports subscriptions and notifications. For multi-agent coordination, use roots to establish session state and resource subscriptions to push state changes. This avoids polling overhead and enables real-time agent synchronization.
