gate/gate-mcp-installer

Gate MCP Installer (unified: Cursor / Claude Code / Codex / OpenClaw)

General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding. Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority. → Read gate-runtime-rules.md

• Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill. Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they exist in the MCP server.

MCP Dependencies

Required MCP Servers (after install)

| MCP Server | Status | |------------|--------| | Gate (main) | ✅ For local CEX (stdio) | | gate-cex-pub | ✅ Remote public | | gate-cex-ex | ✅ Remote private (OAuth2) | | gate-dex | ✅ DEX | | gate-info | ✅ Info | | gate-news | ✅ News |

Installation Check

• Run this skill’s installer script, or guide the user to run it.
• If multiple dev environments exist on one machine (e.g. Cursor + Claude Code), the script requires --platform.

---

MCP Mode

Read and strictly follow references/mcp.md, then execute this installer workflow.

• SKILL.md — product scope, triggers, and user-facing guidance.
• references/mcp.md — execution SOP per platform, verification, and safety rules.

Platform matrix

| Platform | MCP / transport config | Skills directory | |----------|-------------------------|------------------| | Cursor | ~/.cursor/mcp.json (Windows: %APPDATA%\Cursor\mcp.json) | ~/.cursor/skills/ | | Claude Code | ~/.claude.json (mcpServers) | ~/.claude/skills/ | | Codex | ~/.codex/config.toml ([mcp_servers.*]) | ~/.codex/skills/ | | OpenClaw | mcporter CLI (no single JSON file) | ~/.openclaw/skills/ (default) |

---

CEX MCP modes

See gate-mcp:

| Mode | What | Auth | |------|------|------| | Local CEX | stdio npx -y gate-mcp (or global gate-mcp) | Optional GATE_API_KEY / GATE_API_SECRET | | Remote public | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp | None | | Remote exchange | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange | Gate OAuth2 in client / mcporter auth gate-cex-ex |

Non-CEX (same host): Dex (/mcp/dex), Info (/mcp/info), News (/mcp/news). Dex uses fixed x-api-key MCP_AK_8W2N7Q + Bearer ${GATE_MCP_TOKEN} where applicable.

Resources

| Type | Name | Notes | |------|------|--------| | MCP | Gate (main) | stdio; prefer global gate-mcp when installed | | MCP | gate-cex-pub | HTTP remote public | | MCP | gate-cex-ex | HTTP remote private + OAuth2 | | MCP | gate-dex | HTTP + headers | | MCP | gate-info / gate-news | HTTP | | Skills | gate-skills | https://github.com/gate/gate-skills |

---

Behavior rules

1. Default: Install all six MCP surfaces + all gate-skills unless the user opts out.
2. Selectable: --mcp main|cex-public|cex-exchange|dex|info|news (repeatable).
3. Skills: --no-skills installs MCP configuration only.
4. OpenClaw: --select / -s keeps the interactive single-server menu (mcporter legacy UX).

Installer script

Path: skills/gate-mcp-installer/scripts/install.sh

# Auto-detect when only one environment matches
bash skills/gate-mcp-installer/scripts/install.sh

# Force platform (required if multiple clients detected)
bash skills/gate-mcp-installer/scripts/install.sh --platform cursor
bash skills/gate-mcp-installer/scripts/install.sh --platform claude
bash skills/gate-mcp-installer/scripts/install.sh --platform codex
bash skills/gate-mcp-installer/scripts/install.sh --platform openclaw

# Subset of MCPs
bash skills/gate-mcp-installer/scripts/install.sh --platform cursor --mcp main --mcp dex

# MCP only
bash skills/gate-mcp-installer/scripts/install.sh --no-skills

# OpenClaw interactive pick
bash skills/gate-mcp-installer/scripts/install.sh --platform openclaw --select

OpenClaw quick commands (mcporter)

mcporter list gate-cex-pub
mcporter call gate-info.list_tickers currency_pair=BTC_USDT
mcporter call gate-news.list_news
mcporter call gate.list_spot_accounts
mcporter auth gate-cex-ex
mcporter call gate-dex.list_balances

Post-install (all platforms)

• Restart the IDE / client (or new session) so MCP lists reload.
• API Key: https://www.gate.com/myaccount/profile/api-key/manage for local Gate (main) trading.
• gate-cex-ex: OAuth2 when the client prompts; OpenClaw: mcporter auth gate-cex-ex.
• gate-dex: https://web3.gate.com/ for wallet; complete OAuth if tools require it.
