It is recommended that 'keymap-set-after' is used instead of 'define-key-after'.

But replacing

  (defvar mcp-kdf (make-sparse-keymap "MCP"))
  (define-key-after global-map
    [menu-bar mcp-topm] (cons "MCP" mcp-kdf) 'tools)

with 

  (defvar mcp-kdf (make-sparse-keymap "MCP"))
  (keymap-set-after global-map
    [menu-bar mcp-topm] (cons "MCP" mcp-kdf) 'tools)

gives the following error

(error "[menu-bar mcp-topm] is not a valid key definition;...")
  signal(error ("[menu-bar mcp-topm] is not a valid key definition;..."))
  error("%S is not a valid key definition; see `key-valid-p..." [menu-bar mcp-topm])
  keymap--check([menu-bar mcp-topm])
