These are MCP questions of the kind TCS actually asks — the patterns that keep coming back in TCS's AI project interviews, where what matters is applying MCP sensibly for clients rather than research depth. Treat this page as a mock interview: say every answer out loud before revealing it. If one surprises you, the lesson behind it is linked at the bottom.

How to use this page: TCS rarely asks something you've never seen — they ask a standard MCP concept and then push one level deeper ("why?", "what would you do if..."). Master the concept in the MCP course lessons, and the follow-up stops being scary.
Keep practising: What Is MCP?, Tools, Resources & Prompts, Transports and MCP Security cover what most TCS MCP rounds test — and the TCS NQT exam guide covers the rest of their selection process.
