烂翻译系列之——MCP开发——连接远程MCP服务
Learn how to connect Claude to remote MCP servers and extend its capabilities with internet-hosted tools and data sources
现在你已成功将 Claude Desktop 连接到本地 MCP 服务，接下来可以探索如何连接远程 MCP 服务，以扩展其功能，并利用互联网托管的工具和数据源。
Remote MCP servers extend AI applications’ capabilities beyond your local environment, providing access to internet-hosted tools, services, and data sources. By connecting to remote MCP servers, you transform AI assistants from helpful tools into informed teammates capable of handling complex, multi-step projects with real-time access to external resources.
远程 MCP 服务能够将 AI 应用的能力扩展到你的本地环境之外，使其可以访问托管在互联网上的工具、服务和数据源。通过连接远程 MCP 服务，你可以将 AI 助手从一个简单的辅助工具转变为具备实时外部资源访问能力的智能协作伙伴，从而胜任复杂的多步骤项目。
Many clients now support remote MCP servers, enabling a wide range of integration possibilities. This guide demonstrates how to connect to remote MCP servers using Claude as an example, one of the many clients that support MCP. While we focus on Claude’s implementation through Custom Connectors, the concepts apply broadly to other MCP-compatible clients.
Understanding Remote MCP Servers 理解远程 MCP 服务
Remote MCP servers function similarly to local MCP servers but are hosted on the internet rather than your local machine. They expose tools, prompts, and resources that Claude can use to perform tasks on your behalf. These servers can integrate with various services such as project management tools, documentation systems, code repositories, and any other API-enabled service.
远程 MCP 服务的功能与本地 MCP 服务类似，但它们托管在互联网上，而非你的本地设备上。它们提供工具、提示词和资源，使 Claude 能代表你执行各种任务。这些服务可与多种服务集成，例如项目管理工具、文档系统、代码仓库，以及任何支持 API 的服务。
The key advantage of remote MCP servers is their accessibility. Unlike local servers that require installation and configuration on each device, remote servers are available from any MCP client with an internet connection. This makes them ideal for web-based AI applications, integrations that emphasize ease-of-use and services that require server-side processing or authentication.
远程MCP服务的核心优势在于其可访问性。与需要在每台设备上安装配置的本地服务不同，远程服务可通过任何具有互联网连接的MCP客户端进行访问。这使其成为基于网络的AI应用、强调易用性的集成方案，以及需要服务端处理或身份验证服务的理想选择。
What are Custom Connectors? 什么是自定义连接器？
Custom Connectors serve as the bridge between Claude and remote MCP servers. They allow you to connect Claude directly to the tools and data sources that matter most to your workflows, enabling Claude to operate within your favorite software and draw insights from the complete context of your external tools.
自定义连接器是连接 Claude 与远程 MCP 服务的桥梁。它允许你将 Claude 直接连接到对工作流至关重要的工具和数据源，使 Claude 能在你常用的软件中运行，并从外部工具的完整上下文中提取洞察。

Complete Authentication 完成身份验证
Most remote MCP servers require authentication to ensure secure access to their resources. The authentication process varies depending on the server implementation but commonly involves OAuth, API keys, or username/password combinations.
大多数远程 MCP 服务需要身份验证，以确保对其资源的安全访问。身份验证流程因服务实现方式而异，但通常包括 OAuth、API 密钥或用户名/密码组合等方式。
Follow the authentication prompts provided by the server. This may redirect you to a third-party authentication provider or display a form within Claude. Once authentication is complete, Claude will establish a secure connection to the remote server.
请按照服务提供的身份验证提示进行操作。此过程可能会将你重定向到第三方身份验证提供商，或在 Claude 界面内显示一个表单。完成身份验证后，Claude 将与远程服务建立安全连接。
