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.
- Skills: Unless
--no-skills is 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 Codex MCP Config
- User-level config:
~/.codex/config.toml (or $CODEX_HOME/config.toml). Creates the file and writes [mcp_servers] with corresponding tables if it does not exist.
- If it already exists, merge: only append Gate MCP sections that don't already exist; do not overwrite existing config.
- Config details:
- Gate (main): stdio,
command / args / optional env for GATE_API_KEY / GATE_API_SECRET
- gate-cex-pub / gate-cex-ex:
url as above (no http_headers for remote CEX)
- gate-dex:
url + http_headers for x-api-key and Bearer
- gate-info / gate-news:
url
3. Install gate-skills (all)
- Pull all subdirectories under skills/ from https://github.com/gate/gate-skills and copy them to
$CODEX_HOME/skills/ (default ~/.codex/skills/).
- Add
--no-skills when 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-skills was used).
- Prompt to restart Codex to load MCP servers and skills.
- Local API Key: For Gate (main) trading via API keys → https://www.gate.com/myaccount/profile/api-key/manage
- gate-cex-ex: Complete Gate OAuth2 when Codex prompts on first use.
- Gate-Dex: If auth required, open https://web3.gate.com/ for wallet, then complete OAuth via the assistant link.
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_8W2N7Q and written to config.toml.
After downloading this skill from GitHub, run from the repository root:
bash skills/gate-mcp-codex-installer/scripts/install.sh
Or (MCP only):
bash skills/gate-mcp-codex-installer/scripts/install.sh --no-skills
