<TabItem value="config" label="config.yaml">
You can configure M2M OAuth via the LiteLLM UI or `config.yaml`.
### UI Setup
Navigate to the **MCP Servers** page and click **+ Add New MCP Server**.

Enter a name for your server and select **HTTP** as the transport type.

Paste the MCP server URL.

Under **Authentication**, select **OAuth**.

Choose **Machine-to-Machine (M2M)** as the OAuth flow type. This is for server-to-server authentication using the `client_credentials` grant — no browser interaction required.

Fill in the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** provided by your OAuth provider.

Enter the **Token URL** — this is the endpoint LiteLLM will call to fetch access tokens using `client_credentials`.

Scroll down and review the server URL and all fields, then click **Create MCP Server**.

Once created, open the server and navigate to the **MCP Tools** tab to verify that LiteLLM can connect and list available tools.

Select a tool (e.g. **echo**) to test it. Fill in the required parameters and click **Call Tool**.

LiteLLM automatically fetches an OAuth token behind the scenes and calls the tool. The result confirms the M2M OAuth flow is working end-to-end.

### How It Works
1. On first MCP request, LiteLLM POSTs to `token_url` with `grant_type=client_credentials`
