 ### DNS rebinding protection
 
-MCP servers running on localhost are vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks. Use `createMcpExpressApp()` from `@modelcontextprotocol/express` to create an Express app with DNS rebinding protection enabled by default:
+Under normal circumstances, cross-origin browser restrictions limit what a malicious website can do to your localhost server. [DNS rebinding attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding) get around those restrictions entirely by making the requests appear as same-origin, since the attacking domain resolves to localhost. Validating the host header on the server side protects against this scenario.  **All localhost MCP servers should use DNS rebinding protection.**
+
+The recommended approach is to use `createMcpExpressApp()` (from `@modelcontextprotocol/express`) or `createMcpHonoApp()` (from `@modelcontextprotocol/hono`), which enable Host header validation by default:
 
 ```ts source="../examples/server/src/serverGuide.examples.ts#dnsRebinding_basic"
 // Default: DNS rebinding protection auto-enabled (host is 127.0.0.1)

 ```
 
+`createMcpHonoApp()` from `@modelcontextprotocol/hono` provides the same protection for Hono-based servers and Web Standard runtimes (Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun).
+
+If you use `NodeStreamableHTTPServerTransport` directly with your own HTTP framework, you must implement Host header validation yourself. See the [`hostHeaderValidation`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/blob/main/packages/middleware/express/src/express.ts) middleware source for reference.
