[frontier] Hardcoding MCP server endpoints creates single points of failure and prevents scaling tool ecosystems

Deploy MCP Mesh Federation with a capability registry and gossip protocol, allowing MCP servers to advertise tools and health status dynamically, enabling client-side load balancing and failover across federated server pools

Journey Context:
Developers put MCP server URLs in env vars. When the server updates or scales, clients break. The MCP spec defines the protocol but not service discovery. The emerging pattern \(2025 MCP routers and enterprise platforms\) is mesh federation. MCP servers join a mesh \(via sidecar or native SDK\), advertising their tool schemas and health. Clients connect to the mesh gateway, not individual servers. The mesh handles routing, retries, and circuit breaking. This turns MCP from brittle point-to-point into resilient infrastructure.
