+#### Inject custom headers
+
+Some remote MCP servers require custom headers for tenant identification, API
+keys, or other purposes. ToolHive can inject headers into every request
+forwarded to the remote server.
+
+To add plaintext headers, use the `--remote-forward-headers` flag:
+
+```bash
+thv run https://api.example.com/mcp \
+  --name my-server \
+  --remote-forward-headers "X-Tenant-ID=tenant123" \
+  --remote-forward-headers "X-Custom-Header=value"
+```
+
+For sensitive values like API keys, use the `--remote-forward-headers-secret`
+flag to reference values stored in ToolHive's secrets manager:
+
+```bash
+# First, store the secret (enter the value when prompted)
+thv secret set my-api-key
+
+# Then reference it by name
+thv run https://api.example.com/mcp \
+  --name my-server \
+  --remote-forward-headers-secret "X-Api-Key=my-api-key"
+```
+
+You can combine plaintext and secret-backed headers in a single command:
+
+```bash
+thv run https://api.example.com/mcp \
+  --name my-server \
+  --remote-forward-headers "X-Tenant-ID=tenant123" \
+  --remote-forward-headers-secret "X-Api-Key=my-api-key"
+```
+
+:::warning[Security considerations]
+
+- Plaintext header values are stored in the server's configuration file. For
+  sensitive values (API keys, tokens), always use
+  `--remote-forward-headers-secret`.
+- Secret-backed header values are resolved at runtime and never stored in
+  configuration files.
+- Certain headers cannot be configured for security reasons, including `Host`,
+  `Connection`, `Transfer-Encoding`, and proxy-related headers like
+  `X-Forwarded-For`.

 ### Remote server management
 
 Remote MCP servers are managed like any other ToolHive workload:
