• 💼 Account & Wallet - Balances, transfers, deposits, withdrawals, sub-accounts, unified account
• 📊 Margin & Earn - Margin loans, earn products, multi-currency flash swap
• 🎯 Activity & Welfare - Activity center, coupons, launch pool, square, welfare
• 🌍 TradFi, CrossEx, P2P - Traditional finance, cross-exchange, P2P trading
• 🌐 DEX - On-chain wallet, swap (single-chain & cross-chain), token info, market data across 20+ chains
• 📰 Info - Coin info, market snapshots, technical analysis, on-chain data, compliance checks
• 📢 News - Real-time crypto news, exchange announcements, social sentiment
• 🔐 OAuth2 - Secure authorization for trading and private tools

MCP Endpoints

The service exposes five MCP endpoints:

| Endpoint | Auth | Tools | |----------|------|-------| | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp | None | Public market data (58 tools: spot, futures, margin, options, delivery, earn, alpha, activity, launch pool, square, flash swap) | | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange | OAuth2 | CEX trading & account (400+ tools: spot/futures/options/delivery/margin trading, wallet, unified account, sub-accounts, earn, flash swap, rebate, TradFi, CrossEx, P2P, Alpha, activity center, coupon, launch pool, square, welfare) | | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/dex | Google / Gate OAuth | DEX wallet & swap (33 tools: auth, wallet, chain config, transfer, swap, market data, token info, agentic, RPC across 20+ chains) | | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/info | None | Coin info & analysis (10 tools: market snapshots, technical analysis, on-chain data, compliance) | | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/news | None | News & sentiment (3 tools: news search, exchange announcements, social sentiment) |

• Market data only → Use /mcp (no Gate account needed)
• CEX trading, balances, transfers → Use /mcp/exchange (Gate OAuth2 required)
• DEX wallet, swap, on-chain → Use /mcp/dex (Google / Gate OAuth required)
• Coin info, technical analysis → Use /mcp/info (no auth)
• News, announcements → Use /mcp/news (no auth)

Transport: Streamable HTTP (with SSE fallback).

Authorization (OAuth2)

/mcp/exchange requires Gate OAuth2; /mcp/dex requires Google or Gate OAuth. The endpoints /mcp, /mcp/info, and /mcp/news do not require any authentication.

Using mcporter

> Prerequisites: Node.js >= 18, npm. See [Quick Start - mcporter](#mcporter--openclaw-recommended) for full installation steps.

# Add Private MCP (trading, requires OAuth)
mcporter config add gate-mcp --url https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange --auth oauth

# Authorize (opens browser to log in)
mcporter auth gate-mcp

Scopes (for /mcp/exchange)

| Scope | Use | |-------|-----| | market | Public market data (tickers, order books, K-line, etc.) | | profile | Account info, orders, positions (read-only) | | trade | Create/cancel/amend orders | | wallet | Transfers, deposits, withdrawals | | account | Unified account, sub-accounts |

Quick Start

Prerequisites

> Help me auto install Gate Skills and MCPs: https://github.com/gate/gate-skills

See gate-skills for details.

Method 2: Manual Configuration

Prerequisites (before installing mcporter)

• Node.js >= 18 (mcporter requires npm)
• npm (comes with Node.js) — verify with: node -v and npm -v
• Gate account (for OAuth login when using /mcp/exchange)

Install mcporter

# Verify installation
mcporter --version

Alternatively, run without installing: npx mcporter (uses current Node.js/npm).

Add MCP and authorize

# Add Private MCP (trading, OAuth)
mcporter config add gate-mcp --url https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange --auth oauth

# Authorize (opens browser to log in)
mcporter auth gate-mcp

# Add DEX MCP
mcporter config add gate-dex --url https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/dex

# Add Info MCP (no auth)
mcporter config add gate-info --url https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/info

# Add News MCP (no auth)
mcporter config add gate-news --url https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/news

See [OpenClaw setup](docs/setup-openclaw.md) for detailed steps.

Claude CLI

Method 1: One-click Install (Recommended)

Just paste the following into Claude CLI — the agent will auto-install all Gate MCP servers and Skills:

> Help me auto install Gate Skills and MCPs: https://github.com/gate/gate-skills

See gate-skills for details.

Method 2: Manual Configuration

brew install claude-code
# Full trading (OAuth)
claude mcp add --transport http Gate https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange
# Restart Claude CLI after authorization is complete

# Info (no auth)
claude mcp add --transport http Gate-Info https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/info

# News (no auth)
claude mcp add --transport http Gate-News https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/news

claude mcp list

Trae

Edit Trae settings. Uses mcp-remote to proxy HTTP MCP (OAuth prompt on first connect for /mcp/exchange):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange"
      ]
    },
    "gate-info": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/info"
      ]
    },
    "gate-news": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/news"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Qoder

Edit Qoder MCP settings (e.g. ~/.qoder/mcp.json or in Qoder settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange"
      ]
    },
    "gate-info": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/info"
      ]
    },
    "gate-news": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/news"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop requires a local stdio proxy.

1. Download the [Python proxy file](gate-mcp-proxy.py)
2. Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Gate": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/gate-mcp-proxy.py"]
    }
  }
}

See [Claude Desktop setup](docs/setup-claude-desktop.md) for detailed instructions.

Alternative: gate-local-mcp (local stdio with API keys)

For local development without OAuth, use gate-local-mcp (npm: gate-mcp) — a stdio MCP server that uses GATE_API_KEY / GATE_API_SECRET (optional for public market data only). Configure it as a command-based MCP server (e.g. "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "gate-mcp"]). By default it registers 384 tools across 22 modules (spot, futures, delivery, margin, wallet, account, options, earn, flashswap, unified, subaccount, multicollateral_loan, p2p, tradfi, crossex, alpha, rebate, activity, coupon, launch, square, welfare). Reduce the set with GATE_MODULES or --modules=spot,futures, or enable read-only mode with GATE_READONLY=true / --readonly.

Important: Wire-level tool names use abbreviations (futures→fx, delivery→dc, sub_account→sa, etc.); they differ from the remote api.gatemcp.ai naming. Always use the names returned by tools/list.

Full tool list: [gate-local-mcp-tools.md](gate-exchange/gate-local-mcp-tools.md).

LobeHub (desktop)

On the LobeHub MCP marketplace this server appears as identifier gate-gate-mcp. The npm package name is gate-mcp — run npx -y gate-mcp, not gate-gate-mcp.

Per LobeHub custom MCP, stdio servers work on the desktop app only; inject environment variables for Gate API authentication. Use Import JSON when adding a custom skill.

Public endpoints only:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gate-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "gate-mcp"],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

With API key authentication:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gate-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "gate-mcp"],
      "type": "stdio",
      "env": {
        "GATE_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "GATE_API_SECRET": "your-api-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can add GATE_MODULES, GATE_READONLY, or GATE_BASE_URL inside env as needed. Click Test connection before saving.
