Remote MCP Server
An MCP server reachable over the network that exposes external data or tools to an AI application.
Plain English
Instead of a local connector on your laptop, the agent connects to a remote service that speaks MCP.
Example
A deep research model connects to a remote MCP server that can search and fetch internal sales notes.
Why it matters
Remote MCP expands agent integrations, but it raises trust, approval, and data-boundary questions.
