# Create Your First MCP Server

## Quick Start Guide

Create your first MCP server in 10 seconds using Gmail as an example.

**1. Create from Klavis Dashboard**

Navigate to the [Klavis Dashboard](https://www.klavis.ai/home) and click **"MCP Server"** in the left sidebar.

Find the MCP server you like, here we use Gmail one as example.

> [!NOTE]
>
> You'll get a server URL and OAuth URL for authentication. Keep these handy for the next steps.

**2. Complete OAuth Authentication**

Once you hit the create button, it will automatically redirect you to the OAuth flow.
