There's an mcollective mailing list if you need more detail, but real quick:
mco is the client, you run that whereever you want (ours is on the puppetmaster but that's not required) mcollectived is going to run on your nodes (same as puppetd) they communicate via a STOMP exchange, that's the ActiveMQ bit. That can run on yet another server (it has no need to run on your master). Worry about plugins later, you can push them out with puppet as you need them.
