Consideration
Traditional Self-Hosted Solution
Remote MCP Cloud Service

Infrastructure

Requires self-deployment, maintenance, and backend service scaling

Professionally managed by cloud providers, ensuring high availability, auto-scaling, and security compliance

Authentication

Authentication and authorization processes (like OAuth) need to be self-developed and maintained

Providers typically offer Managed Auth and secure credential storage services

Tool Ecosystem

Limited available tool set, new tool integration requires self-development

Usually integrates hundreds to thousands of ready-to-use tools and Actions, significantly accelerating development

Maintenance & Compatibility

  • Smart Customer Service & Ticket System Integration: AI customer service uses Remote MCP to query customer data in real-time, create or update tickets in systems like Zendesk or Salesforce Service Cloud, and even process refunds and other customer service operations.

  • Automated Marketing Campaign Execution: Marketing personnel can use natural language to instruct AI to operate marketing automation platforms like HubSpot through Remote MCP, such as: adding potential customer lists, sending personalized marketing emails, or dynamically adjusting advertising strategies.

  • Google Workspace Automation: AI assistants use Remote MCP to read/write Gmail emails, manage Google Calendar schedules, search/manage documents in Google Drive, or read/update data in Google Sheets, achieving personal or team office automation.
