I am not sure why you are looking at this information.
If you travel on separate tickets, MCT never applies as you are on your own, and if you miss a flight, you may have to buy a new ticket at your own expense and likely at a very high price. When travelling on separate tickets, you need to schedule ample time for the “connection” (much longer than any published MCT), to take into account potential delay of incoming flight and the possibility to have to go landside to collect bags and recheck with the next airline. Usually, you have to schedule 3-4 hrs between flights on separate tickets.
If you travel on same ticket, then you don’t have to care about MCT, because any booking engine you will use is taking care of this for you. They sell only legal connections (i.e. connections matching the MCT of the concerned airport).
