 ## Resources
 
-- **graphql-schema**: The server exposes the GraphQL schema as a resource that clients can access. This is either the local schema file or based on an introspection query.
+- **graphql-schema**: The server exposes the GraphQL schema as a resource that clients can access. This is either the local schema file, a schema file hosted at a URL, or based on an introspection query.
 
 ## Available Tools
 
 The server provides two main tools:
 
 1. **introspect-schema**: This tool retrieves the GraphQL schema. Use this first if you don't have access to the schema as a resource.
-This uses either the local schema file or an introspection query.
+This uses either the local schema file, a schema file hosted at a URL, or an introspection query.
 
 2. **query-graphql**: Execute GraphQL queries against the endpoint. By default, mutations are disabled unless `ALLOW_MUTATIONS` is set to `true`.
