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.

exist in the MCP server.

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).

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 (
--mcp can be repeated).
- 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 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-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 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_SECRET in the Gate entry env.
- 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_8W2N7Q and written to the config.
After downloading this skill from GitHub, run from the repository root:
bash skills/gate-mcp-claude-installer/scripts/install.sh
Or (MCP only):
bash skills/gate-mcp-claude-installer/scripts/install.sh --no-skills
