Awesome Remote MCP Servers

punkpeye's curated list of remote MCP servers — hosted endpoints you connect to over a URL, each verified to answer an MCP initialize handshake before it's listed.

A companion list to awesome-mcp-servers from the same maintainer, scoped to remote MCP servers only: endpoints someone else operates, reached over a URL with OAuth or an API key instead of a local stdio process. A local-vs-remote comparison table spells out the trade (distribution, transport, auth, who ships updates), and every entry is listed only after its endpoint answers an MCP initialize handshake — dead URLs don't linger. Each server is tagged with its auth model (anonymous / API key / OAuth), and connect snippets cover Claude Code (claude mcp add --transport http …), mcp.json clients and the Claude.ai/ChatGPT connectors UI. MIT.

What it does

  • Remote-only scope: hosted endpoints over Streamable HTTP with OAuth or API-key auth — no install, no runtime, no local process to babysit
  • Entries are listed only after the endpoint answers an MCP initialize handshake, so the catalog doesn't rot into dead URLs
  • A local-vs-remote table (distribution, transport, auth, updates) plus connect snippets for Claude Code, mcp.json clients and Claude.ai/ChatGPT connectors
  • Auth legend marks each server as anonymous, API key or OAuth — you know what you're signing into before you connect

When to use it

Picking hosted MCP servers for Claude Code or Claude.ai without running anything yourself — plus learning the remote-server trust model before pointing a client at a URL.

Getting started

# it's a catalog — browse the list, then connect a server from it, e.g.:
claude mcp add --transport http linear https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

# mcp.json (Cursor, VS Code and other clients that read this format):
# { "mcpServers": { "linear": { "url": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp" } } }
# Claude.ai / ChatGPT: add the URL under Settings -> Connectors

Things to know

Remote servers route your traffic through third-party operators — a different trust model from local stdio servers, so check each entry's auth and provider. The README carries sponsor/ad badges above the list itself.
