AI Agents and MCP in LLMs – Knowledge Check Quiz

This quiz is designed to help you test and reinforce your understanding of AI agents, Large Language Models (LLMs), and the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—key building blocks of modern AI systems.

As AI applications evolve beyond single-model interactions, AI agents play a crucial role in perception, reasoning, and action, while MCP provides a standardized communication layer that enables agents to interact seamlessly with external tools, services, and even other agents. Understanding how these components work together is essential for designing scalable, reliable, and intelligent AI systems.

In this quiz, you will be assessed on:

Core components and types of AI agents
Ethical challenges associated with Large Language Models
MCP architecture, including servers, clients, and communication protocols
How MCP enables tool integration and multi-agent workflows
Best practices for orchestrating complex AI tasks using MCP

This assessment is ideal for students, AI practitioners, and DevOps or platform engineers who are learning about LLM ecosystems, AI agent architectures, and MCP-based integrations. Whether you are preparing for interviews, validating your knowledge, or following an AI agents learning path, this quiz will help solidify key concepts.

Quiz: AI Agents and MCP in LLMs

1 / 12

Within the MCP framework, what is the main responsibility of an MCP server?

1. To make decisions and orchestrate tasks.

2. To discover and register other available MCP clients.

3. To expose external tools, services, or data sources for the agent to use.

4. To interpret the user's natural language prompts.

2 / 12

What is the primary purpose of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

1. To create a marketplace for buying and selling AI models

2. To train Large Language Models more efficiently

3. To standardize communication between AI models and external tools

4. To secure AI agents from cyber attacks

3 / 12

A common challenge when implementing an MCP client in an AI agent is handling errors from external tools. Which of the following is a best practice for managing this?

1. Implementing logic for retries, fallbacks, or reporting the error to the LLM for re-planning.

2. Blocking the use of that MCP server permanently.

3. Ignoring all errors and hoping the workflow succeeds.

4. Terminating the entire process immediately upon any error.

4 / 12

Which of the following is a primary ethical challenge associated with the deployment of Large Language Models?

1. client-server

2. peer-to-peer

3. monolithic

4. publish-subscribe

6 / 12

What is the purpose of the server registration and discovery process in MCP?

1. To allow MCP clients to dynamically find and connect to available MCP servers.

2. To bill users for tool usage.

3. To ensure all servers are using the latest version of the MCP protocol.

4. To authenticate and authorize clients before they can make a request.

7 / 12

In a multi-agent system, MCP can be used to facilitate communication directly between different AI agents, not just between an agent and a tool.

1. True

2. False

8 / 12

What communication protocol is specified as the standard for interactions between MCP clients and servers?
