Not sure what you really meant to say there, but MCT is the maximum rated thrust outside of the conditions under which the time-limited takeoff thrust is available. Max climb can't be higher than the maximum rated thrust. Did you mean max clb at the end of your second sentence and in your third sentence? Am I missing something?
