### Remote MCP servers

Remote MCP servers are hosted services that you connect to through the internet. Service providers maintain and update these servers, ensuring access to current features and live data without requiring local updates or maintenance. Remote servers display a cloud icon {{< inline-image src="../../offload/images/cloud-mode.png" alt="cloud icon" >}} to indicate their hosted nature and external connectivity requirements.

Remote servers excel when you need always-current data, want to minimize local resource usage, or require capabilities that benefit from provider-managed infrastructure and scaling.

Remote MCP servers are hosted services that run on the provider's
71
+
infrastructure and connect to external services like GitHub, Notion, and
72
+
Linear. Many remote servers use OAuth authentication. When a remote server
73
+
requires OAuth, the MCP Toolkit handles authentication automatically - you
74
+
authorize access through your browser, and the Toolkit manages credentials
75
+
securely. You don't need to manually create API tokens or configure
76
+
authentication.

No. MCP servers are not technically uninstalled since they exist as Docker containers pulled to your local Docker Desktop. Removing an MCP server stops the container but leaves the image on your system. Even if the container is deleted, credentials remain stored until you remove them manually.

### Why don't I see remote MCP servers in the catalog?
58
+
59
+
If remote MCP servers aren't visible in the Docker Desktop catalog, your local
60
+
catalog may be out of date. Remote servers are indicated by a cloud icon and
61
+
include services like GitHub, Notion, and Linear.
62
+
63
+
Update your catalog by running:
64
+
65
+
```console
66
+
$ docker mcp catalog update
67
+
```
68
+
69
+
After the update completes, refresh the **Catalog** tab in Docker Desktop.
