Claude Code Adds Remote MCP Server Support for Coding Context Integration

Claude Code’s new remote MCP support lets developers plug in third-party services using nothing more than a URL. The update, now generally available, means users no longer need to set up local servers or manage API tokens manually. Instead, secure connections are handled via OAuth 2.0 and real-time data is streamed through SSE (Server-Sent Events). This change removes a major pain point in extending LLM coding environments with live contextual data. Developers can now surface real-time bug reports, project tickets, or metrics directly in the Claude interface. It enables faster iteration, smarter assistance, and better collaboration without requiring backend ops. By supporting remote MCPs as first-class citizens, Anthropic is positioning Claude Code as a more open and integration-friendly coding companion. This approach closely aligns with how modern teams structure their workflows. They increasingly rely on cloud-native tools that play well together without local configuration.
