I’ve been testing a bunch of AI workflows on my machine, and lately I’ve been wondering if I should start running some of them remotely. At the moment, everything's on my local machine, but it's starting to slow things down, and a few people recommended trying hybrid or remote MCP servers. I’ve seen those terms tossed around, but I’m not 100% sure what the practical differences are, especially in small-scale projects. Is it really worth moving off local setups? What are you all using, and how did you decide?

Choosing between local, remote, and hybrid MCP servers really comes down to your goals—whether you prioritize control, scalability, or a bit of both. Local servers give you maximum customization and low latency, while remote ones offer flexibility and lower upfront costs. Hybrid setups provide a nice balance, letting you scale smartly as your needs grow. If you're diving deeper into server options or just curious about alternative ways to host and enjoy gameplay, check out RSPS for exploring private servers that bring a unique flavor to your experience. These private servers (RSPS) allow for custom rules, exclusive features, and even niche community vibes that official setups often miss. So whether you're running a small project or just looking for a more exciting way to enjoy the game, RSPS might be the perfect middle ground. They’re especially appealing if you’ve already explored local and remote options but still crave more control and creativity in your setup.
This is an interesting question. I never thought about server type seriously until now, but the performance difference between local and remote tools is starting to catch my eye. I’m not doing anything complex yet, but definitely bookmarking this discussion for later. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Yeah, I went through the same thought process earlier this year. I started out local, but once I began chaining a few more tools together and added browser automation, it just made more sense to look into hybrid setups. I didn’t want to commit to full remote either. I found this directory of MCP servers super helpful — they actually list servers by whether they're local, remote, or hybrid, so it's easy to compare. Here’s the link that helped me figure out which setup made the most sense: MCP servers. I landed on a hybrid one that’s been solid so far—flexible but still manageable for quick testing on my end.
