 ## Configuration
 
-The server connects to Unity Editor automatically when both are running. No additional configuration needed.
+The server connects to Unity Editor automatically when both are running. Most users do not need to change any settings.
+
+### CLI options
+
+These options apply to the `mcp-for-unity` command (whether run via `uvx`, Docker, or `python src/main.py`).
+
+- `--transport {stdio,http}` - Transport protocol (default: `stdio`)
+- `--http-url URL` - Base URL used to derive host/port defaults (default: `http://localhost:8080`)
+- `--http-host HOST` - Override HTTP bind host (overrides URL host)
+- `--http-port PORT` - Override HTTP bind port (overrides URL port)
+- `--http-remote-hosted` - Treat HTTP transport as remotely hosted
+  - Requires API key authentication (see below)
+  - Disables local/CLI-only HTTP routes (`/api/command`, `/api/instances`, `/api/custom-tools`)
+  - Forces explicit Unity instance selection for MCP tool/resource calls
+  - Isolates Unity sessions per user
+- `--api-key-validation-url URL` - External endpoint to validate API keys (required when `--http-remote-hosted` is set)
+- `--api-key-login-url URL` - URL where users can obtain/manage API keys (served by `/api/auth/login-url`)
+- `--api-key-cache-ttl SECONDS` - Cache duration for validated keys (default: `300`)
+- `--api-key-service-token-header HEADER` - Header name for server-to-auth-service authentication (e.g. `X-Service-Token`)
+- `--api-key-service-token TOKEN` - Token value sent to the auth service for server authentication
+- `--default-instance INSTANCE` - Default Unity instance to target (project name, hash, or `Name@hash`)
+- `--project-scoped-tools` - Keep custom tools scoped to the active Unity project and enable the custom tools resource
+- `--unity-instance-token TOKEN` - Optional per-launch token set by Unity for deterministic lifecycle management
+- `--pidfile PATH` - Optional path where the server writes its PID on startup (used by Unity-managed terminal launches)
+
+### Environment variables
+
+- `UNITY_MCP_TRANSPORT` - Transport protocol: `stdio` or `http`
+- `UNITY_MCP_HTTP_URL` - HTTP server URL (default: `http://localhost:8080`)
+- `UNITY_MCP_HTTP_HOST` - HTTP bind host (overrides URL host)
+- `UNITY_MCP_HTTP_PORT` - HTTP bind port (overrides URL port)
+- `UNITY_MCP_HTTP_REMOTE_HOSTED` - Enable remote-hosted mode (`true`, `1`, or `yes`)
+- `UNITY_MCP_DEFAULT_INSTANCE` - Default Unity instance to target (project name, hash, or `Name@hash`)
+- `UNITY_MCP_SKIP_STARTUP_CONNECT=1` - Skip initial Unity connection attempt on startup
+
+API key authentication (remote-hosted mode):
+
+- `UNITY_MCP_API_KEY_VALIDATION_URL` - External endpoint to validate API keys
+- `UNITY_MCP_API_KEY_LOGIN_URL` - URL where users can obtain/manage API keys
+- `UNITY_MCP_API_KEY_CACHE_TTL` - Cache TTL for validated keys in seconds (default: `300`)
+- `UNITY_MCP_API_KEY_SERVICE_TOKEN_HEADER` - Header name for server-to-auth-service authentication
+- `UNITY_MCP_API_KEY_SERVICE_TOKEN` - Token value sent to the auth service for server authentication
+
+Telemetry:
+
+- `DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1` - Disable anonymous telemetry (opt-out)
+- `UNITY_MCP_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1` - Same as `DISABLE_TELEMETRY`
+- `MCP_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1` - Same as `DISABLE_TELEMETRY`
+- `UNITY_MCP_TELEMETRY_ENDPOINT` - Override telemetry endpoint URL
+- `UNITY_MCP_TELEMETRY_TIMEOUT` - Override telemetry request timeout (seconds)
+
+### Examples
+
+**Stdio (default):**
 
-**Environment Variables:**
+```bash
+uvx --from mcpforunityserver mcp-for-unity --transport stdio
+```
+
+**HTTP (local):**
+
+```bash
+uvx --from mcpforunityserver mcp-for-unity --transport http --http-host 127.0.0.1 --http-port 8080
+```
+
+**HTTP (remote-hosted with API key auth):**
+
+```bash
+uvx --from mcpforunityserver mcp-for-unity \
+  --transport http \
+  --http-host 0.0.0.0 \
+  --http-port 8080 \
+  --http-remote-hosted \
+  --api-key-validation-url https://auth.example.com/api/validate-key \
+  --api-key-login-url https://app.example.com/api-keys
+```
+
+**Disable telemetry:**
+
+```bash
+DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 uvx --from mcpforunityserver mcp-for-unity --transport stdio
+```
+
+---
+
+## Remote-Hosted Mode
+
+When deploying the server as a shared remote service (e.g. for a team or Asset Store users), enable `--http-remote-hosted` to activate API key authentication and per-user session isolation.
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- An external HTTP endpoint that validates API keys. The server POSTs `{"api_key": "..."}` and expects `{"valid": true, "user_id": "..."}` or `{"valid": false}` in response.
+- `--api-key-validation-url` must be provided (or `UNITY_MCP_API_KEY_VALIDATION_URL`). The server exits with code 1 if this is missing.
+
+**What changes in remote-hosted mode:**
+
+- All MCP tool/resource calls and Unity plugin WebSocket connections require a valid `X-API-Key` header.
+- Each user only sees Unity instances that connected with their API key (session isolation).
+- Auto-selection of a sole Unity instance is disabled; users must explicitly call `set_active_instance`.
+- CLI REST routes (`/api/command`, `/api/instances`, `/api/custom-tools`) are disabled.
+- `/health` and `/api/auth/login-url` remain accessible without authentication.
+
+**MCP client config with API key:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "UnityMCP": {
+      "url": "http://remote-server:8080/mcp",
+      "headers": {
+        "X-API-Key": "<your-api-key>"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
 
-- `DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true` - Opt out of anonymous usage analytics
-- `LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG` - Enable detailed logging (default: INFO)
+For full details, see [Remote Server Auth Guide](../docs/guides/REMOTE_SERVER_AUTH.md) and [Architecture Reference](../docs/reference/REMOTE_SERVER_AUTH_ARCHITECTURE.md).
