 - **Security**: Token-based authentication with per-document permission scopes (read, write, schema)
 - **Multi-tenant**: Support multiple Grist instances and documents
 
-## Requirements
+## Quick Start (Docker)
 
-- Python 3.14+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Docker and Docker Compose
 - Access to one or more Grist documents with API keys
 
-## Installation
+### 1. Create configuration directory
 
 ```bash
-# Clone the repository
-git clone https://github.com/your-org/grist-mcp.git
-cd grist-mcp
-
-# Install with uv
-uv sync --dev
+mkdir grist-mcp && cd grist-mcp
 ```
 
-## Configuration
-
-Create a `config.yaml` file based on the example:
+### 2. Download configuration files
 
 ```bash
+# Download docker-compose.yml
+curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xe138/grist-mcp-server/master/deploy/prod/docker-compose.yml

-### Configuration Structure
+### 3. Generate tokens
 
-```yaml
-# Document definitions
-documents:
-  my-document:
-    url: https://docs.getgrist.com      # Grist instance URL
-    doc_id: abcd1234                     # Document ID from URL
-    api_key: ${GRIST_API_KEY}            # API key (supports env vars)

-### Environment Variables
+### 4. Configure config.yaml
 
-- `CONFIG_PATH`: Path to config file (default: `/app/config.yaml`)
-- `GRIST_MCP_TOKEN`: Agent token for authentication
-- Config file supports `${VAR}` syntax for API keys
+Edit `config.yaml` to define your Grist documents and agent tokens:
 
-## Usage
+```yaml
+# Document definitions
+documents:
+  my-document:                           # Friendly name (used in token scopes)
+    url: https://docs.getgrist.com       # Your Grist instance URL

+    api_key: your-grist-api-key          # Grist API key (or use ${ENV_VAR} syntax)
 
-### Running the Server
-
-The server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport over HTTP:
-
-```bash
-# Set your agent token
-export GRIST_MCP_TOKEN="your-agent-token"
-
-# Run with custom config path (defaults to port 3000)
-CONFIG_PATH=./config.yaml uv run python -m grist_mcp.main
-
-# Or specify a custom port
-PORT=8080 CONFIG_PATH=./config.yaml uv run python -m grist_mcp.main
+# Agent tokens with access scopes
+tokens:
+  - token: your-generated-token-here     # The token you generated in step 3
+    name: my-agent                       # Human-readable name
+    scope:
+      - document: my-document            # Must match a document name above
+        permissions: [read, write]       # Allowed: read, write, schema
 ```
 
-The server exposes two endpoints:
-- `http://localhost:3000/sse` - SSE connection endpoint
-- `http://localhost:3000/messages` - Message posting endpoint
+**Finding your Grist document ID**: Open your Grist document in a browser. The URL will look like:
+`https://docs.getgrist.com/abcd1234efgh5678/My-Document` - the document ID is `abcd1234efgh5678`.
 
-### MCP Client Configuration
+**Getting a Grist API key**: In Grist, go to Profile Settings → API → Create API Key.
+
+### 5. Create .env file
+
+Create a `.env` file with your agent token:
+
+```bash
+# .env
+GRIST_MCP_TOKEN=your-generated-token-here
+PORT=3000
+```
+
+The `GRIST_MCP_TOKEN` must match one of the tokens defined in `config.yaml`.
+
+### 6. Start the server
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The server will be available at `http://localhost:3000`.
