## Remote HTTP Servers — Connect with Just a URL

These servers offer hosted HTTP endpoints you can connect to without any local installation. The remote MCP ecosystem has grown steadily through 2026 — from 16 servers in January to 25+ by April to **30** in July, as Atlassian, HubSpot, Linear, Slack, Sentry, Neon and Vercel launched remote endpoints, and AWS, X and Snowflake followed with managed ones.

**🚀 What's new since April 2026:** [AWS went GA](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/the-aws-mcp-server-is-now-generally-available/) on May 6 with a managed server fronting 15,000+ AWS API operations. [X launched two hosted servers](https://docs.x.com/tools/mcp) on June 30 — one for the API, one for its docs. Snowflake now exposes a warehouse-managed endpoint per account. And the [2026-07-28 spec](https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2026-07-28-release-candidate/) lands this month, letting remote servers drop sticky sessions and run behind a plain round-robin load balancer. Atlassian's SSE deprecation [took effect June 30, 2026](https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Atlassian-Remote-MCP-Server/HTTP-SSE-Deprecation-Notice/ba-p/3205484) — Streamable HTTP only now.

### The new arrivals — and the auth catch on each

Three of the servers above landed after this list's April update, and each one authenticates differently from the OAuth-and-a-URL pattern the rest of the ecosystem settled on. That matters more than the tool counts, because it is where setup actually fails.

**[AWS MCP Server](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/the-aws-mcp-server-is-now-generally-available/) (GA May 6, 2026)** is the most capable server on this list and the most awkward to connect. A single `call_aws` tool fronts more than 15,000 AWS API operations, `run_script` executes Python server-side in a sandbox with your IAM permissions but no network access, and `search_documentation` / `read_documentation` work with no authentication at all. The catch: AWS authenticates with IAM SigV4, and MCP only specifies OAuth 2.1. The two don't meet, so AWS ships an open-source **MCP Proxy for AWS** to bridge them — you cannot simply paste the URL into a client and expect it to connect. Requests are logged to CloudTrail and metered in CloudWatch under the `AWS-MCP` namespace, which makes it one of the few servers here that is genuinely auditable in production.

**[X](https://docs.x.com/tools/mcp) (June 30, 2026)** ships two servers with opposite requirements. The API server at `api.x.com/mcp` runs Streamable HTTP and expects OAuth 2.0 PKCE through X's `xurl mcp` local bridge, which refreshes tokens so the model inherits your account's scopes; an app-only bearer token also works but gives you read-only access with no user context. Note that early coverage described the server as read-only across the board — X's own docs list bookmark management and article publishing as supported writes, subject to tighter rate limits than reads. The docs server at `docs.x.com/mcp` needs no auth at all and exposes just two tools, `search_x` and `get_page_x`. It is the single easiest server in this entire list to try.

**Snowflake's managed server** has no shared URL — the endpoint lives inside your account at `/api/v2/databases/{database}/schemas/{schema}/mcp-servers/{name}`, so the server is a Snowflake object you provision rather than a address you look up. It exposes up to 50 tools spanning Cortex Analyst (natural language to SQL), Cortex Search, Cortex Agents, and direct SQL execution that can be pinned read-only. OAuth 2.0 is the recommended auth; programmatic access tokens work but Snowflake's own docs warn about token leakage.

The broader pattern across all three: the platforms with the most to lose from a runaway agent are the ones bolting their existing authorization model onto MCP rather than adopting plain OAuth. Expect more per-account URLs and more bridges, not fewer.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What are MCP servers?+**

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers are integrations that allow AI assistants like Claude and Cursor to connect to external tools, databases, and APIs through a standardized protocol.

**What's the difference between HTTP and STDIO transport?+**

**HTTP/SSE:** Remote servers accessible over the internet. Can be tested instantly with MCP Playground.  
**STDIO:** Local servers that run on your machine. Faster performance and work offline.

**Are these MCP servers free to use?+**

Most MCP servers are free and open source. Some require accounts or API keys from the underlying service (e.g., Stripe account for Stripe MCP).

**How do I test an MCP server?+**

For HTTP servers, use [MCP Playground](/mcp-test-server) — just paste the URL and connect. For STDIO servers, install them locally first.

**Can I use multiple MCP servers at once?+**

Yes! Add each server as a separate entry in your configuration. Your AI assistant will have access to all tools from all connected servers.

**What are MCP Apps launched in January 2026?+**

On January 26, 2026, Anthropic launched MCP Apps — an extension to the Model Context Protocol that lets MCP servers render interactive UIs (dashboards, forms, charts) directly inside Claude's chat window. Launch partners include Amplitude, Asana, Box, Canva, Clay, Figma, Hex, Monday.com, Slack, and Salesforce. This means you can build charts in Amplitude or update Asana tasks without leaving Claude.

**What is Context7 MCP and why is it useful?+**

Context7 is a remote MCP server that fetches live, version-specific documentation from official library sources and injects it into your AI prompts. Just add "use context7" to any prompt and Claude gets accurate, up-to-date code examples for React, Next.js, Vue, and hundreds of other frameworks — eliminating hallucinated APIs.

**What are the Memory and Sequential Thinking MCP servers?+**

**Memory:** An official Anthropic server that maintains a persistent knowledge graph of entities and relationships across conversations — so Claude can remember context between sessions.  
  
**Sequential Thinking:** Guides Claude through structured reasoning chains, ideal for architectural decisions, debugging, and multi-step problem solving. Both are installed via npx.

🤖 Test any of these servers with AI — in your browser

[MCP Agent Studio](/mcp-agent-studio) lets you paste any MCP server URL and have a real AI conversation that drives its tools — Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and 10+ more. No install, no API keys, free credits on sign-up.

For the tool-heavy servers, pair them with the flagship model — see [Claude Fable 5 + MCP servers](/blog/claude-fable-5-mcp-servers).
