Exam CCAR-F Topic 1 Question 119 Discussion
Actual exam question for Anthropic's CCAR-F exam
Question #: 119
Topic #: 1
Question #: 119
Topic #: 1
You are building developer productivity tools using the Claude Agent SDK. The agent helps engineers explore unfamiliar codebases, understand legacy systems, generate boilerplate code, and automate repetitive tasks. It uses the built-in tools (Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob) and integrates with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
You've configured your Claude agent with three MCP servers: one for git operations, one for Jira ticket management, and one for documentation search.
When a user asks the agent to "create a branch for JIRA-123 and add documentation links to the ticket," how does the agent access tools across these servers?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
MCP allows a Claude application to connect to multiple servers and expose their enabled tools within the same agentic interaction. Anthropic's MCP connector documentation explicitly supports connecting to multiple MCP servers in one request. Once connected, Claude can invoke a server's tool when the user's request corresponds to the capability described by that tool. ( https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and- tools/mcp-connector ) In this scenario, the git server can provide the branch-creation operation, the documentation server can locate the relevant links, and the Jira server can update ticket JIRA-123. The agent can coordinate these capabilities without requiring a separate conversational turn that restricts it to only one server. Tool descriptions and schemas tell Claude what each operation does and what inputs it requires.
Option B incorrectly describes sequential capability discovery. Server identity and tool definitions are established through the MCP configuration rather than discovered by querying every server for each operation. Option C is incorrect because connecting several servers does not inherently restrict the agent to a single selected server. Option D imposes a one-server-per-turn limitation that MCP does not require.
Access can still be controlled through allowlists, denylists, permissions, and per-tool configuration. Those controls restrict which tools are enabled; they do not change the fundamental ability to make tools from multiple configured servers available together.
