"mtn serve" has the advantage to allow multiple users to sync
concurrently, but if your expected concurrency is low (not too many
developers) you can certainly sync with the "central server" using
sync-over-SSH, like this (taken from monotone info page):

  1. SSH URIs, of the form
     `ssh://address@hidden:PORT]/PATH/TO/DB.MTN',   to synchronize
     between private databases on hosts accessible only   through SSH.
     (These paths are absolute; to refer to a path relative   to a home
     directory, use   `ssh://HOST-PART/~/RELATIVE/PATH.MTN' or
     `ssh://HOST-PART/~USER/RELATIVE/PATH.MTN'.)

  2. File URIs, of the form   `file:/PATH/TO/DB.MTN', to synchronize
     between local databases.
