There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think both versions of the diagram are correct, but show different scenarios. The first version shows three local MCP servers, with one server connecting to a remote service. The second version shows two local MCP servers and one remote MCP server.
Perhaps we could combine the two versions by changing "Local Data Source B" to "Remote Service B"? That would show all three combinations.

I think that's a good idea. Here's the current (updated) version: flowchart LR
subgraph "Your Computer"
Host["Host with MCP Client<br/>(Claude, IDEs, Tools)"]
S1["MCP Server A"]
S2["MCP Server B"]
D1[("Local<br/>Data Source A")]
Host <-->|"MCP Protocol"| S1
Host <-->|"MCP Protocol"| S2
S1 <--> D1
end
subgraph "Internet"
S3["MCP Server C"]
D2[("Remote<br/>Service B")]
D3[("Remote<br/>Service C")]
S2 <-->|"Web APIs"| D2
S3 <-->|"Web APIs"| D3
end
Host <-->|"MCP Protocol"| S3

Motivation and Context
I noticed the diagram showed the MCP Server representing a remote connection was under "Your Computer" which is misleading:
I've changed it so it's under "Internet" to be more clear about where the server code actually runs:
