+
+## Features
+
+- 🔌 **Expose local MCP servers** to the marketplace
+- 🔒 **Secure WebSocket connection** with TLS encryption
+- 🔄 **Auto-reconnect** with exponential backoff
+- 💻 **Works with any MCP server** - Node.js, Python, or any language
+- 🚀 **Zero cloud deployment** - keep your code on-premise or on your own cloud
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install globally
+npm install -g @dotmcp/tunnel
+
+# Or run directly with npx
+npx @dotmcp/tunnel --help
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Create a Tunnel Server on dotMCP
+
+1. Go to [app.dotmcp.io](https://app.dotmcp.io) and log in
+2. Navigate to **Dashboard** → **My Servers** → **New Server**
+3. Select **"Tunnel (Local MCP Server)"**
+4. Enter your server name and description
+5. Copy your **Tunnel Key** from the server settings
+
+### 2. Create Configuration
+
+Create a `tunnel.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+key: "dott_your_tunnel_key_here"
+
+servers:
+  - id: "your-server-id"
+    command: "node"
+    args: ["./my-mcp-server.js"]
+```
+
+### 3. Start the Tunnel
+
+```bash
+dotmcp-tunnel -c tunnel.yaml
+```
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```yaml
+key: "dott_xxx..."
+
+servers:
+  - id: "server-id-from-dashboard"
+    command: "node"
+    args: ["server.js"]
+```
+
+### Full Configuration Options
+
+```yaml
+key: "dott_xxx..."
+
+# Optional: Custom relay URL (defaults to wss://relay.dotmcp.io)
+# relay: "wss://relay.dotmcp.io"
+
+servers:
+  - id: "server-id"
+    
+    # Option 1: Command-based (stdio transport)
+    command: "node"
+    args: ["./server.js", "--flag"]
+    cwd: "/path/to/working/directory"
+    env:
+      API_KEY: "secret"
+      DEBUG: "true"
+    
+    # Option 2: HTTP-based (for running servers)
+    # url: "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
+```
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+```bash
+# Start tunnel with config file
+dotmcp-tunnel -c tunnel.yaml
+
+# Start with verbose logging
+dotmcp-tunnel -c tunnel.yaml -v
+
+# Show help
+dotmcp-tunnel --help
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Node.js MCP Server
+
+```yaml
+key: "dott_xxx..."
+servers:
+  - id: "my-server"
+    command: "node"
+    args: ["server.js"]
+```
+
+### Using NPM Packages
+
+Expose the official MCP demo server:
+
+```yaml
+key: "dott_xxx..."
+servers:
+  - id: "demo-server"
+    command: "npx"
+    args: ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"]
+```
+
+### Python MCP Server
+
+```yaml
+key: "dott_xxx..."
+servers:
+  - id: "python-server"
+    command: "python"
+    args: ["-m", "my_mcp_server"]
+    cwd: "/home/user/mcp-project"
+    env:
+      PYTHONPATH: "/home/user/mcp-project"
+```
+
+### Multiple Servers
+
+```yaml
+key: "dott_xxx..."
+servers:
+  - id: "weather-api"
+    command: "node"
+    args: ["./servers/weather.js"]
+  
+  - id: "database-tools"
+    command: "node"
+    args: ["./servers/database.js"]
+    env:
+      DB_HOST: "localhost"
+```

+1. **Tunnel daemon** connects to relay via secure WebSocket
+2. **Relay** holds the connection and routes requests
+3. **Proxy worker** forwards API requests through relay to your tunnel
+4. **Local MCP server** processes requests and returns responses
+
+## Security
+
+- 🔑 **Tunnel keys** are scoped to your account
+- 🔐 **Traffic** is encrypted via WebSocket TLS
+- 🚫 **No inbound ports** required on your machine
+- 🔄 **Keys can be rotated** from the dashboard
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js >= 18.0.0
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Config file not found"
+Create a `tunnel.yaml` file or specify the path with `-c path/to/config.yaml`
+
+### "Connection closed immediately"
+- Verify your tunnel key is correct
+- Check that the server ID matches your dashboard
+
+### "Tunnel connected but tools not syncing"
+- Ensure your MCP server responds to `initialize` and `tools/list`
+- Check server logs for errors with `-v` flag
