Malware bytes is compatible with most anti-virus, internet search for ones you want to know about. Regarding Microsoft Defender, they play very well together. Been doing that for years. But Windows 10 and 11 let you register a 3rd party tool as your official tool and if you do that, Defender stops doing real-time and scheduled scans, so you need to NOT register Malwarebytes (or any 3rd party tool) if you want both it and Defender to be fully active.

I've NEVER liked or used McAfee because I purchased NORTON 3.0 25 years ago and Mcafee ALWAYS conflicted with Norton and came pre-installed on ALL computers and was so deeply inbedded that it was very hard to remove to use Norton. My brother was repairing a friends computer and called me to help him figure out the problem had been trying to find. Of course,the computer had McAfee. I immediately inserted my Norton 3.0 CD and the RED SCREEN OF DEATH showed a virus was present and corrected the issue fixing his friends computer. This and Mcafee's proprietary demands is why I've NEVER liked or trusted McAfee and NEVER will! I've never had conflicts with Malwarebytes and Windows Defender. I use Malwarebytes,WEBROOT and NordVPN all ALL my Windows laptops and Android mobile phones currently with NO CONFLICT ISSUES and will continue to do so!
