Live hosted servers
Remote & Hosted MCP Servers
Cloud-hosted servers built for AI clients, not localhost
One remote URL
Paste a Streamable HTTP endpoint into your MCP client. Every connected service shares the same hosted infrastructure — no per-server local installs.
Always on
Background agents and long-running sessions keep working when your laptop sleeps. Remote servers stay reachable over HTTPS for the whole team.
Credentials stay server-side
Connect accounts once in MCPBundles. Keys and tokens are encrypted at rest and injected at call time — not copied into local JSON configs.
Local MCP vs hosted remote MCP
| Local (stdio) | Remote hosted (MCPBundles) | |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | Local subprocess on your machine | HTTPS URL — Streamable HTTP |
| Uptime | Stops when the process or laptop stops | Always available in the cloud |
| Team sharing | Manual key handoffs | One workspace URL for the team |
| Catalog | One repo per service you install | Indexed directory with live probes |
Remote servers ready to connect
The MCPBundles directory lists hosted servers with setup steps, example workflows, and client compatibility. Filter by category — developer tools, open data, financial services, marketing, and more.
Open MCP directoryFrequently asked questions
What is a remote MCP server?
A remote MCP server runs in the cloud and exposes an HTTPS URL your AI client connects to. Instead of starting a local process with stdio transport, you paste one Streamable HTTP endpoint into Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or VS Code and the tools go live.
What remote MCP servers does MCPBundles host?
MCPBundles lists live hosted MCP servers across marketing, CRM, finance, developer tools, open data, and more. Each server is reachable from a single remote URL after you connect your account.
Do I need to run anything locally?
No. Hosted MCP servers on MCPBundles run on our infrastructure. Your machine only needs an MCP client — Desktop, IDE, or chat app — pointed at the remote server URL.
Which AI clients support remote MCP servers?
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, Codex, and other MCP-compatible clients can connect to Streamable HTTP remote servers. See the getting-started guide for per-client setup steps.
How is hosted MCP different from a local MCP server?
Local MCP servers use stdio and require a running process on your machine. Remote hosted servers use HTTPS, stay available for background agents and teammates, and keep credentials encrypted on the server instead of in JSON config files.
