## Step 2: Request Scopes

<Note>
  Klavis Gmail MCP Server uses the following OAuth scopes:
  `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly`
  `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send`
  `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.compose`
  `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify`
</Note>

1. Go to **OAuth consent screen**.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/klavisai/2FN45VVIW760Qvl2/images/knowledge-base/gmail_oauth_app/scope1_oauth.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2FN45VVIW760Qvl2&q=85&s=0da8df557acefabe998eb86af9954f84" alt="OAuth consent screen" width="1298" height="652" data-path="images/knowledge-base/gmail_oauth_app/scope1_oauth.png" />

2. Click **Data Access**.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/klavisai/2FN45VVIW760Qvl2/images/knowledge-base/gmail_oauth_app/scope2_data_access.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2FN45VVIW760Qvl2&q=85&s=e9838be95092c70f791bd6aad0799d81" alt="Data access settings" width="1298" height="652" data-path="images/knowledge-base/gmail_oauth_app/scope2_data_access.png" />

3. Click **Add or Remove Scopes**.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/klavisai/2FN45VVIW760Qvl2/images/knowledge-base/gmail_oauth_app/scope3_add_scopes.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2FN45VVIW760Qvl2&q=85&s=61c585f233e832e14829e687874dbc6c" alt="Add or remove scopes" width="1298" height="652" data-path="images/knowledge-base/gmail_oauth_app/scope3_add_scopes.png" />

4. Enter the needed scopes and click **Update**.

<Check>
  You have successfully created a Gmail OAuth application! You now have your Client ID and Client Secret ready for integration with Klavis AI.
</Check>

## (Optional) Step 3: White Labeling

<Note>
  White labeling allows you to customize the OAuth experience with your own branding instead of Klavis AI's.
</Note>

If you want to use your own Gmail OAuth application with custom branding:

1. **Configure White Labeling**: Go to [https://www.klavis.ai/home/white-label](https://www.klavis.ai/home/white-label)
2. **Add Your Credentials**: Enter your Gmail **Client ID** and **Client Secret** from Step 1.
3. **Set Redirect URI**: Use `https://api.klavis.ai/oauth/gmail/callback` or your custom callback URL.
4. **Initiate OAuth**: Use your client ID when starting the OAuth flow:

   <CodeGroup>
     ```javascript without SDK theme={null}
     // Example: Initiating Gmail OAuth with white-label
     const authUrl = `https://api.klavis.ai/oauth/gmail/authorize?instance_id=${instanceId}&client_id=${yourClientId}`;
     window.location.href = authUrl;
     ```

     ```typescript TypeScript SDK theme={null}
     import { Klavis } from "@klavis/sdk";

     const klavis = new Klavis({
       apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
     });

     // Example: Initiating Gmail OAuth with white-label
     const oauthUrl = await klavis.mcpServer.getOAuthUrl({
       serverName: Klavis.McpServerName.Gmail,
       instanceId: instanceId,
       clientId: yourClientId,
       // redirectUri: YOUR_REDIRECT_URI,
       // scope: "YOUR_SCOPES", 
     });

     window.location.href = oauthUrl;
     ```

     ```python Python SDK theme={null}
     import webbrowser
     from klavis import Klavis
     from klavis.types import McpServerName

     klavis = Klavis(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

     # Example: Initiating Gmail OAuth with white-label
     oauth_url = klavis.mcp_server.get_oauth_url(
         server_name=McpServerName.GMAIL,
         instance_id=instance_id,
         client_id=your_client_id,
         # redirect_uri="YOUR_REDIRECT_URI",
         # scope="YOUR_SCOPES"
     )

     # Open OAuth URL in user's default browser
     webbrowser.open(oauth_url)
     ```
   </CodeGroup>
