See the standard fingering for any major or minor piano scale on an interactive keyboard — right hand, left hand, one or two octaves, with thumb-under crossings marked.

Descending uses the same fingers in reverse order. Melodic minor descends in its natural-minor form.
About this tool
C Melodic minor's right-hand-only chart shows the ascending form, with the raised sixth and seventh (A and B) giving the scale a brighter lift than natural minor, while the single flat, E♭, simply takes the third finger without disturbing the usual thumb-unders at F and at the closing C.
Because melodic minor traditionally reverts to the natural minor form when descending, isolating the right hand on its ascending shape is a good way to lock in this exact pattern before it gets mixed up with the different one used coming back down.
Practice the right hand alone on the way up until it is automatic, then look at the left-hand-only chart for C melodic minor or the full tool, which also shows the descending form.
Example. C major in the right hand for one octave shows the finger numbers 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5. The default two-octave right hand continues 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5.
Limit. Fingerings are the stored one-octave charts for major and the three minor forms, not a custom editorial fingering you type in. The octave control is only 1 or 2.
