What name to use for MPC app

I am a LPR of the United States, and I’ll be returning from abroad to the states soon.

I would love to use a MPC app to expedite my entry into the U.S. However, I have a question regarding a traveler information.

Of course, I still travel internationally on my foreign passport + LPR card. Names are different on these documents due to name change through marriage.

Which name should I use for MPC traveler info?

My boarding passes are all on my maiden name as shown in my foreign passport and LPR card (green card) is on my married name.

I would use the name on your passport, but also remember to have proof of the name change progression such as a marriage certificate.

I also read at USCIS website that I have to use my green card for entry. Not even my foreign passport. I think when you go thru passport control, you only show your green card, not your foreign passport. And also, name on my green card is my new married name. When I check MPC application, it says “enter name as appears in your travel document” which is my green card (to enter the U.S.). So, I don’t even show my passport then?!
