CEX MCP modes (read before configuring)
Aligned with gate-mcp documentation:
| Mode | What it is | Auth | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local CEX | stdio npx -y gate-mcp (npm package gate-mcp) | Optional GATE_API_KEY / GATE_API_SECRET (public-only works without keys; set GATE_READONLY=true for read-only) | Full local tool surface; tool names use abbreviations (fx, dc, ...) — see gate-mcp gate-local-mcp-tools doc |
| Remote CEX — Public | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp | None | Public market data only (~58 tools, cex_* names) |
| Remote CEX — Exchange | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange | Gate OAuth2 (browser login) | Private trading & account (~400+ tools); does not duplicate the full public market-data set — use Public remote or Local for market queries as needed |
Non-CEX (same host): Dex (/mcp/dex, Google/Gate OAuth + fixed x-api-key), Info (/mcp/info), News (/mcp/news).

| MCP | gate-cex-ex (cex-exchange) | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange, HTTP, type+url only; Gate OAuth2 on first use |
| MCP | Gate-Dex (dex) | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/dex, fixed x-api-key + Authorization: Bearer ${GATE_MCP_TOKEN} |

Behavior Rules
- Default: When the user does not specify which MCPs to install, install all MCPs (
main,cex-public,cex-exchange,dex,info,news) + all gate-skills. - Selectable MCPs: Users can choose to install only specific MCPs; follow the user's selection (
--mcpcan be repeated). - Skills: Unless
--no-skillsis passed, always install all skills from the gate-skills repository's skills/ directory.
Installation Steps
1. Confirm User Selection (MCPs)
- If the user does not specify which MCPs → install all:
main,cex-public,cex-exchange,dex,info,news. - If the user specifies "only install xxx" → install only the specified MCPs.
2. Write Claude Code MCP Config
- User-level config:
~/.claude.json(Windows:%USERPROFILE%\.claude.json). If using directory format, use the corresponding config under~/.claude/. - If it already exists, merge into the existing
mcpServers; do not overwrite other MCPs. - Config details:
- Gate (main): stdio, command: npx, args: ["-y", "gate-mcp"], optional env for API keys - gate-cex-pub: type: http, url only (remote CEX public; no extra headers) - gate-cex-ex: type: http, url for /mcp/exchange only; OAuth2 is completed in the client when prompted - Gate-Dex: http, url + headers["x-api-key"] = MCP_AK_8W2N7Q + Authorization = Bearer ${GATE_MCP_TOKEN} - Gate-Info / Gate-News: http, url
3. Install gate-skills (all)
- Pull all subdirectories under skills/ from https://github.com/gate/gate-skills and copy them to
~/.claude/skills/(or the corresponding directory for the current environment). - Add
--no-skillswhen using the script to install MCP only without skills.
4. Post-Installation Prompt
- Inform the user of the installed MCP list and "all gate-skills have been installed" (unless
--no-skillswas used). - Prompt to reopen Claude Code or start a new session to load the MCPs.
- Local API Key: If Gate (main) is used for trading via API keys, direct the user to https://www.gate.com/myaccount/profile/api-key/manage and set
GATE_API_KEY/GATE_API_SECRETin the Gate entryenv. - Remote Exchange OAuth2: If gate-cex-ex was installed, the user completes Gate OAuth2 in the browser when the client prompts (scopes:
market,profile,trade,wallet,account). - Gate-Dex Authorization: If Gate-Dex was installed and a query returns an authorization required message, prompt the user to first open https://web3.gate.com/ to create or bind a wallet, then complete OAuth via the link the assistant provides.
Script
Use the scripts/install.sh in this skill directory for one-click installation.
- Usage:
./scripts/install.sh [--mcp main|cex-public|cex-exchange|dex|info|news] ... [--no-skills] Installs all MCPs when no --mcp is passed; pass multiple --mcp to install only specified ones; --no-skills installs MCP only.
- The DEX x-api-key is fixed as
MCP_AK_8W2N7Qand written to the config.
