Aquifer – an MCP runtime for spiky agent tool traffic

Aquifer is a high-performance runtime for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) designed to handle bursty, spiky tool-calling traffic from AI agents. It targets developers building agentic applications who need to manage thousands of concurrent tool invocations without latency spikes or resource exhaustion. Its interesting because it rethinks MCP server architecture for production-scale agent workloads, solving a critical bottleneck as autonomous agents increasingly demand rapid, parallel tool execution.
