+#### DNS Rebinding Protection
+
+The Streamable HTTP transport includes DNS rebinding protection to prevent security vulnerabilities. By default, this protection is **disabled** for backwards compatibility.
+
+**Important**: If you are running this server locally, enable DNS rebinding protection:
+
+```typescript
+const transport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({
+  sessionIdGenerator: () => randomUUID(),
+  disableDnsRebindingProtection: false,
+
+  allowedHosts: ['127.0.0.1', ...],
+  allowedOrigins: ['https://yourdomain.com', 'https://www.yourdomain.com']
+});
+```
+
 ### Testing and Debugging
 
 To test your server, you can use the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector). See its README for more information.
