Agent Stores: The New App Store Moment
Story
Four platforms launched agent stores in one week. Notion Custom Agents work autonomously 24/7 via MCP connecting Slack, Mail, Calendar, Figma, Linear. Superhuman Agent Store opened with partner SDK. Combined with Cursor's marketplace and Anthropic's Cowork plugins, MCP-based distribution is the universal pattern. Builder opportunity: Build one MCP server, publish across all four stores. Early movers have the window now.
