Remote MCP servers
43,138 servers you connect by URL over streamable HTTP. Nothing to install or keep running on your machine.
43,138 servers you connect by URL over streamable HTTP. Nothing to install or keep running on your machine.
A remote MCP server runs on someone else's infrastructure and your client connects to it by URL over streamable HTTP (older servers use SSE). Sign-in usually happens through OAuth in the browser instead of an API key in a config file.
Local servers run as a process on your machine and can reach your files and private network. Remote servers need no runtime and update themselves, but your data goes to the provider. Pick remote for SaaS products, local for files, databases on your network and anything offline.
