# Create an AgentCore gateway using the CLI
Create a gateway (CLI)

You can use the AgentCore CLI to create gateways with simplified commands. The CLI handles common configurations automatically, including IAM role creation and authorization setup.

**Example**  

1. Create a gateway without authorization:

   ```
   agentcore add gateway \
     --name MyGateway \
     --authorizer-type NONE \
     --runtimes MyAgent
   agentcore deploy
   ```

   Create a gateway with JWT authorization:

   ```
   agentcore add gateway \
     --name MyGateway \
     --authorizer-type CUSTOM_JWT \
     --discovery-url https://your-idp.example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration \
     --allowed-audience your-audience
   agentcore deploy
   ```

   Semantic search is enabled by default. To disable it, pass the `--no-semantic-search` flag:

   ```
   agentcore add gateway \
     --name MyGateway \
     --authorizer-type NONE \
     --runtimes MyAgent \
     --no-semantic-search
   agentcore deploy
   ```

1. You can also use the AgentCore CLI interactive terminal UI. Run `agentcore` to open the TUI, then select **add** and choose **Gateway** :

1. In the **Add Resource** menu, select **Gateway** and press **Enter**.

After creating the gateway, you can add targets using the `agentcore add gateway-target` command. For more information about CLI commands, see the [Get started with AgentCore Gateway](gateway-quick-start.md).
