can this be used with a remote backend server?

When looking at this it seems that you have to have a local client and local server to use this? My setup is a local client which is developed using a remote backend server, or would that still work to have the restart of my backend before I run my local cypress tests?

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the README and CLI usage for the server startup, URL-waiting, and test-running flow, then determine whether a remote backend is already supported. Done should clarify the supported local/remote setup or define the scope of a change needed for remote backends.
