# Gateways

To create or manage a gateway:

1. Log in to Britive.
2. Click on **System admin** -> **MCP Management** -> **Gateways**.
3. Click the **Create Gateway** button and enter a **Gateway Name** and **Description.**
4. Click **Save**.
5. Copy the authentication token and close the window. It is shown only once. A gateway authenticates to the platform with this token to read the server catalog and publish tools.
6. **Tokens:** Tokens are displayed under this tab. You can copy, view, edit, or delete a token. Editing a token allows you to update the description and the token status to active or inactive.
  1. Click **Create Token.**
    1. Enter the token name and description.
    2. Copy the authentication token and close the window.
7. **Settings**: This tab holds all configurable settings for a given gateway. The gateway retrieves these at startup and, by default, re-synchronizes them every 5 minutes. For more information about settings, see [Settings Reference](https://learn.britive.com/mcp-gateway/configuration/reference/).
