# Create a route

You can build a route directly or by using the [integration wizard](/fabric-gateway/product/gateway/integrations/).

To build a route directly, go to **Routes > Create route**.

## Create a route

To get started, do the following:

1. Click **Create route**.

2. Provide the following information:

   | Field             | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
   | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | Name              | Route name, for example `mcp-example`.                                                                                                                                                                                                |
   | Paths             | One or more URL paths for the route. Use **Add path** for multiple paths.                                                                                                                                                             |
   | Protocol          | `LLM`, `MCP`, `A2A`, or `HTTP`. HTTP registers a REST or webhook endpoint with optional auth.                                                                                                                                         |
   | Services          | A searchable multi-select drawing from the full catalog of MCP servers and LLM platforms. Selecting an MCP-only service set automatically syncs the protocol to MCP.                                                                  |
   | Gateway auth      | **No gateway auth** (public at the gateway), **Gateway key** (uses provisioned gateway credentials), or **JWT** (validates with an identity provider — selecting this reveals an **Identity provider** dropdown, for example `okta`). |
   | Advanced settings | Set up the priority, hosts, and methods.                                                                                                                                                                                              |

3. Click **Create route**.

A route created this way appears in the **Routes** list alongside its selected services.
