How did you do? If you got 4-5 questions correct, you have a solid grasp of MCP fundamentals. If you struggled, review “Key Concepts and Architecture” before moving to the next section.

Key concepts to remember:

• MCP solves the M×N problem with universal server standard
• Three roles: Host (agent location), Client (protocol handler), Server (capability provider)
• Three capabilities: Tools (callable), Resources (data), Prompts (instructions)
• Two transports: Stdio (local development), Streamable HTTP (remote/production)
• Skills + MCP work together to teach and enable agent capabilities
