 ## Features
 
+### Read-Only Mode
+- Connect to MongoDB in read-only mode with `--read-only` or `-r` flag
+- Prevents write operations (update, insert, createIndex)
+- Uses MongoDB's secondary read preference for optimal read performance
+- Provides additional safety for production database connections
+
 ### Resources
 - List and access collections via `mongodb://` URIs
 - Each collection has a name, description and schema

+## Using Read-Only Mode
+
+You can connect to MongoDB in read-only mode by adding the `--read-only` or `-r` flag when starting the server. This is recommended when you need to protect your data from accidental writes or when connecting to production databases.
+
+```bash
+# Connect in read-only mode using the command line
+npx mcp-mongo-server mongodb://user:password@mongodb.example.com/database --read-only
+```
+
+When in read-only mode:
+1. All write operations (update, insert, createIndex) will be blocked
+2. The server connects using MongoDB's secondary read preference
+3. The connection status indicates read-only mode is active
+4. The `ping` and `serverInfo` responses include read-only status information
