+#### Option 6: Running as an HTTP Server
+
+> **⚠️ Security Notice:** This server now supports Streamable HTTP transport for remote connections. **HTTP transport is NOT recommended for production use without implementing proper authentication and security measures.**
+
+**Suggested Security Measures Examples:**
+
+- Implement authentication (e.g., API gateway, reverse proxy)
+- Use HTTPS/TLS encryption
+- Deploy behind a firewall or in private networks
+- Implement rate limiting
+- Never expose directly to the internet
+
+For more details, see [MCP Security Best Practices](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/transports#security-considerations).
+
+You can run the MongoDB MCP Server as an HTTP server instead of the default stdio transport. This is useful if you want to interact with the server over HTTP, for example from a web client or to expose the server on a specific port.
+
+To start the server with HTTP transport, use the `--transport http` option:
+
+```shell
+npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest --transport http
+```
+
+By default, the server will listen on `http://127.0.0.1:3000`. You can customize the host and port using the `--httpHost` and `--httpPort` options:
+
+```shell
+npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest --transport http --httpHost=0.0.0.0 --httpPort=8080
+```
+
+- `--httpHost` (default: 127.0.0.1): The host to bind the HTTP server.
+- `--httpPort` (default: 3000): The port number for the HTTP server.
+
+> **Note:** The default transport is `stdio`, which is suitable for integration with most MCP clients. Use `http` transport if you need to interact with the server over HTTP.

+#### Logger Options
+
+The `loggers` configuration option controls where logs are sent. You can specify one or more logger types as a comma-separated list. The available options are:
+
+- `mcp`: Sends logs to the MCP client (if supported by the client/transport).
+- `disk`: Writes logs to disk files. Log files are stored in the log path (see `logPath` above).
+- `stderr`: Outputs logs to standard error (stderr), useful for debugging or when running in containers.
+
+**Default:** `disk,mcp` (logs are written to disk and sent to the MCP client).
+
+You can combine multiple loggers, e.g. `--loggers disk stderr` or `export MDB_MCP_LOGGERS="mcp,stderr"`.
+
+##### Example: Set logger via environment variable
+
+```shell
+export MDB_MCP_LOGGERS="disk,stderr"
+```
+
+##### Example: Set logger via command-line argument
+
+```shell
+npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest --loggers mcp stderr
+```
 
-#### Log Path
+##### Log File Location
 
-Default log location is as follows:
+When using the `disk` logger, log files are stored in:
 
-- Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\mongodb\mongodb-mcp\.app-logs`
-- macOS/Linux: `~/.mongodb/mongodb-mcp/.app-logs`
+- **Windows:** `%LOCALAPPDATA%\mongodb\mongodb-mcp\.app-logs`
+- **macOS/Linux:** `~/.mongodb/mongodb-mcp/.app-logs`
+
+You can override the log directory with the `logPath` option.

+- `connect` - Tools that allow you to connect or switch the connection to a MongoDB instance. If this is disabled, you will need to provide a connection string through the config when starting the server.

+#### Exports
+
+The data exported by the `export` tool is temporarily stored in the configured `exportsPath` on the machine running the MCP server until cleaned up by the export cleanup process. If the `exportsPath` configuration is not provided, the following defaults are used:
+
+- **Windows:** `%LOCALAPPDATA%\mongodb\mongodb-mcp\exports`
+- **macOS/Linux:** `~/.mongodb/mongodb-mcp/exports`
+
+The `exportTimeoutMs` configuration controls the time after which the exported data is considered expired and eligible for cleanup. By default, exports expire after 5 minutes (300000ms).
+
+The `exportCleanupIntervalMs` configuration controls how frequently the cleanup process runs to remove expired export files. By default, cleanup runs every 2 minutes (120000ms).

+### Proxy Support
+
+The MCP Server will detect typical PROXY environment variables and use them for
+connecting to the Atlas API, your MongoDB Cluster, or any other external calls
+to third-party services like OID Providers. The behaviour is the same as what
+`mongosh` does, so the same settings will work in the MCP Server.
