A Gate MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI agents to interact with the Gate cryptocurrency exchange for market data, trading, and account management.

• 🔍 Public Market Data - Spot, futures, margin, options, delivery, earn, alpha tickers, order books, K-line, funding rate, liquidation history (no auth required)
• 💹 Trading - Create/cancel/amend spot, futures, options, delivery orders; price-triggered orders; trail orders
• 💼 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

The service exposes five MCP endpoints:

• 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).

/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.

Prerequisites: Node.js >= 18, npm. See Quick Start - mcporter 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

• Gate account (required only for /mcp/exchange)
• MCP-compatible client (Cursor, Claude CLI, Trae, OpenClaw, etc.)
• Node.js >= 18 (for mcporter, Trae, Qoder, and other npm-based clients)
• Python >= 3.9 (optional, for Claude Desktop proxy)

claude mcp list

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"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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 requires a local stdio proxy.

1. Download the Python proxy file
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 for detailed instructions.

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, flash_swap, unified, sub_account, multi_collateral_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.

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.

All tools use the cex_ prefix. Tools are split between Public MCP (no auth) and Private MCP (OAuth2).

Note: The private endpoint does not include public market data tools. Use /mcp for market data queries.

For full tool parameters, see Gate API Docs or gate-exchange-mcp.

For full DEX tool parameters, see gate-dex-mcp. For the Agentic Wallet subset (auth, wallet, market data, resources), see gate-agentic-wallet-mcp.

For full Info tool parameters, see gate-info-mcp.

For full News tool parameters, see gate-news-mcp.

The /mcp and /mcp/exchange endpoints also expose MCP Resources for static reference data:

A: Only for CEX trading and DEX wallet. /mcp, /mcp/info, and /mcp/news are fully public — no account needed. /mcp/exchange (CEX trading, balances, transfers) requires Gate OAuth2. /mcp/dex (on-chain wallet, swap) requires Google or Gate OAuth.

A: Yes. Connect to https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange with OAuth2. The server supports spot and futures trading, account management, wallet transfers, and sub-accounts. Each tool requires the appropriate scope (e.g. trade, wallet).

A: Data is queried in real-time from Gate's API.

• OAuth2 authorization via Gate account (no API keys stored in config)
• All API calls use HTTPS
