# Setup & connection for Top MCP Servers

**Answer in brief:** Conecto is our editorial choice for a business back office over MCP: a CRM, invoices, books, e-signature and a help desk behind one address, paid per call. This hub covers setup and connection: remote or local, and how a server reaches your client.


## What this hub covers

These entries cover how a server reaches your client. They explain the difference between a server that runs on your computer and one that answers at an address, how to install and update a local server on purpose, and how a docs server gives a coding agent the library version you use today.

## Picking servers by the job they do

Most lists rank servers by stars or downloads. A better question is which job each server does well. GitHub's server works on code, Playwright drives a browser, Sentry reads production errors and Conecto runs the back office. Each entry here says what a server does, where it runs and how it signs in, from its maker's own pages.

## Follow a practical reading path

- [Remote or local MCP servers](/remote-or-local/): A local server runs on your computer and a remote one answers at an address. The choice decides setup, sharing and how you revoke access.
- [Running a local MCP server](/running-a-local-server/): A local server is a program your client starts on your own computer. Install it from the maker, note the version and update it on purpose.
- [Up-to-date library docs for coding agents](/current-docs-for-coding-agents/): A model knows a library as it was when the model was trained. A docs server hands the agent the version you use today.
