What it is

awesome-remote-mcp-servers is a community-maintained awesome list, curated by jaw9c, that catalogs remote and cloud-hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Unlike local MCP servers that run on your machine via stdio, the servers listed here are reachable over the network (HTTP / SSE), so any MCP-compatible AI tool can connect to them with just a URL and, where needed, an auth token — no local install or runtime to manage.

How to access / install

The directory itself is a GitHub README — browse it to discover servers:

https://github.com/jaw9c/awesome-remote-mcp-servers

Once you pick a remote server, point your client at its endpoint. For example, in Claude Code:

# Add a remote MCP server by URL (HTTP transport)
claude mcp add --transport http <name> <https-endpoint-url>

# Or SSE transport
claude mcp add --transport sse <name> <https-endpoint-url>

Most clients (Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, etc.) accept the same remote endpoint in their mcpServers config block, typically with a url and optional headers for authentication.

Good for

Discovering managed MCP servers without standing up local infrastructure.
Teams that want shared, always-on MCP endpoints instead of per-developer setups.
Quickly extending Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients with hosted tools.
