Exam weight: 20%

This domain covers how MCP is adopted in practice: who does what in an MCP-enabled organization, real operational use cases, and how the growing ecosystem enables portability.

Roles, Responsibilities & Adoption

Who builds, deploys, and governs MCP integrations — and how organizations adopt them.

Study this competency

Operational Use Cases

Common real-world scenarios and how they map to MCP primitives such as tools, resources, and prompts.

Study this competency

Ecosystem & Portability

Registries, official SDKs, and host support that let a server be built once and run everywhere.

Study this competency

After studying this domain you should be able to:

  • Describe the roles involved in building, deploying, and governing MCP integrations
  • Recognize common operational use cases and match them to MCP primitives
  • Explain how the ecosystem (registries, SDKs, hosts) enables portability
