Zoho Analytics MCP: Remote Setup
The Remote setup deploys the Zoho Analytics MCP Server as a centrally hosted instance, accessible over HTTPS. Rather than installing and running a server process on each user's machine, a single instance is made available to all users, eliminating per-device configuration, credential management, and update cycles.
Choose from the following Remote Setup options based on who manages the infrastructure:
Available Remote Setup Methods
| Aspect | Self-Hosted | Zoho MCP |
| Infrastructure | Managed by Organization Admin | Managed by Zoho |
| OAuth setup | Configured once by an Organization Admin; Other users are authenticated automatically via browser session | Configured via Zoho MCP web application |
| Multiple server configurations | No | Yes |
| Updates | Manual | Automatic |
Note:
Zoho Analytics MCP Servers consume API units based on the specific APIs used to generate responses. Additionally, the data aggregated as part of your request will be shared with the LLM to generate the response.
