 ## Use Cases
 
-### 1. Building an Execution Environment with MCP Servers
+### 1. Building an Execution Environment (EE) with MCP Servers
 
 The `ansible.mcp_builder` collection is designed to run as a step in building an Execution Environment (EE), allowing you to deploy multiple MCP servers from various sources (npm packages, PyPI packages, and compiled Go binaries) in a single environment.
 
-To select which MCP servers to install, use the `-e` flag with the `mcp_servers` variable. Servers are selected by their exact role name (e.g., `github_mcp`).
+The collection must be listed as a `galaxy` dependency in the `execution-environment.yml` file, either directly listed or passed via a `requirements.yml` file. See the [ansible-builder EE definition docs](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/builder/en/stable/definition/#dependencies) for more details.
