+### MCP-Style Configuration (Recommended)
+
+The proxy server now supports the standard MCP configuration format used by Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients. This makes it easier to copy and paste existing configurations:

+```json

+### Configuration Notes
+
+- **MCP-Style Format**: Server names are defined as object keys, and transport configuration is flattened
+- **SSE Servers**: Use the `url` property directly (no need to specify `type: "sse"`)
+- **Stdio Servers**: Use `command`, `args`, and `env` properties directly
+- **Environment Variables**: The `env` array lists environment variable names to pass to the server process
+
 The config file must be provided when running the server:
 ```bash
