When designing an MCP Server to help Claude interact with a local database, a developer needs to decide between using MCP Resources or MCP Tools. Which TWO statements correctly describe the differences between these primitives?

A.Resources are intended for read-only data that Claude can use as context.

B.Tools are the only way for Claude to perform write operations or trigger side effects.

C.Resources require a JSON schema for input arguments just like tools do.

D.Tools are automatically called by the MCP Host without model intervention.

Explanation: Choosing the right MCP primitive is essential for optimal model performance. Resources are passive data sources that Claude can read for context, similar to documentation or files. Tools are active components that allow the model to perform actions or execute code. Distinguishing between data retrieval and action execution ensures that the model uses the most efficient path for information.

A developer wants to ensure that Claude uses a specific 'search_documentation' tool every single time a user asks a question about their proprietary software. Which configuration of the 'tool_choice' parameter should be used?

A.Set tool_choice to 'auto' and include the instruction in the system prompt.

B.Set tool_choice to {'type': 'tool', 'name': 'search_documentation'}.

C.Set tool_choice to 'any' to allow Claude to pick any available tool.

D.Omit the tool_choice parameter entirely as it defaults to 'required'.

Explanation: The 'tool_choice' parameter allows developers to control Claude's tool-calling behavior. By default, 'auto' lets Claude decide if a tool is needed. Setting 'tool_choice' to 'tool' with a specific name forces Claude to use that tool for its next response, regardless of whether it thinks it needs it, which is ideal for rigid workflows.

A developer is building a complex MCP-based system. They want to utilize 'MCP Prompts' to standardize how Claude interacts with their server. Which THREE statements accurately describe the capabilities and behavior of MCP Prompts?

A.They allow servers to expose reusable templates with variable arguments.

B.They can be used to provide a set of 'slash commands' to the user.

C.They are automatically injected into the system prompt of every request.

D.A prompt can include a sequence of messages, not just a single string.

Explanation: MCP Prompts are a powerful feature that allows servers to provide predefined templates for the model. They help standardize interactions and can be used to guide the model through complex tasks. Unlike tools or resources, prompts are specifically designed to influence the model's instructions and conversation structure directly from the server side.

Which TWO of the following are benefits of using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) over traditional, custom-built tool-calling implementations?

A.It allows a single server to be used across different host applications like Claude Desktop and IDEs.

B.It automatically encrypts all local data before sending it to the Anthropic API.

C.It reduces the need for the model to reason about which tool to use for a task.

D.It provides a standardized way to discover tools, resources, and prompts from a server.

Explanation: MCP provides a standardized interface that decouples the model from the data sources. This standardization reduces the effort needed to integrate new tools and allows for a more modular ecosystem. By using a common protocol, developers can swap out different models or hosts without rewriting their entire integration layer for every tool.

When providing a system prompt alongside a set of tools, what is the best practice for instructing Claude on how to use those tools?

A.Repeat the entire JSON schema of every tool inside the system prompt.

B.Focus the system prompt on the model's persona and high-level goals.

C.Tell the model to ignore the tool descriptions and follow the prompt instead.

D.Use the system prompt to provide the API keys needed to run the tools.

Explanation: While Claude is trained to use tools based on their JSON definitions, the system prompt can provide critical context on *when* and *why* to use them. Effective system prompts guide the model's strategy, helping it understand complex business logic or multi-step processes that are not apparent from the individual tool descriptions alone.
