+A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Claude Desktop and other MCP clients with local access to Baasix Backend-as-a-Service operations.
+
+> **Note:** This is the **Local MCP** package that runs on your machine. Baasix also has a **Remote MCP** built into the core server at `/mcp` endpoint. See [Choosing Local vs Remote MCP](#choosing-local-vs-remote-mcp) for guidance.
 
 **Baasix** is an open-source BaaS that generates REST APIs from data models, featuring 50+ filter operators, visual workflows, multi-tenancy, and real-time subscriptions.

+## Choosing Local vs Remote MCP
+
+| Feature | Local MCP (this package) | Remote MCP (built-in) |
+|---------|--------------------------|----------------------|
+| **Transport** | stdio | HTTP (Streamable HTTP) |
+| **Setup** | Install `@baasix/mcp` | Enable `MCP_ENABLED=true` on server |
+| **Authentication** | Environment variables | HTTP headers |
+| **Best For** | Claude Desktop, local dev | Production, cloud, remote servers |
+| **Process** | Runs locally | Runs on Baasix server |
+| **Config File** | `.mcp.json` | `.mcp.json` or `.vscode/mcp.json` |
+
+**Use Local MCP when:**
+- Using Claude Desktop (requires stdio transport)
+- Working offline with local Baasix server
+- Need environment-based configuration
+
+**Use Remote MCP when:**
+- Connecting to remote/cloud Baasix servers
+- Using VS Code with GitHub Copilot (supports HTTP)
+- Want simpler setup without npm packages

-
-### Junction Tables (M2M/M2A)
-
-- **Auto-generated name**: `{source}_{target}_{name}_junction`
-- **Custom name**: Use `through` property (max 63 characters for PostgreSQL)
-- **Schema property**: Junction tables have `isJunction: true` in their schema definition
-- **Auto-indexed**: Foreign key columns are automatically indexed for better query performance
