MCP servers can be accessed in 3 different ways depending on your needs

Option-1 : add a remote http server

HTTP servers are the recommended option for connecting to remote MCP servers. This is the most widely supported transport for cloud-based services.

Option-2 : add a remote sse server

The SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport is deprecated. Use HTTP servers instead, where available.

Option-3 : add a local stdio server

Stdio servers run as local processes on your machine. They’re ideal for tools that need direct system access or custom scripts.
