Gate Exchange MCP — Claude Code MCP server: how to install
Connects Gate crypto exchange endpoints to AI agents for trading and analytics. It lets tools inspect wallet balances and execute exchange orders over HTTP.
claude mcp add --transport http gate-exchange https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchangeWhat Gate Exchange MCP does
The server links an AI agent to Gate exchange infrastructure using the MCP protocol over streamable HTTP. Its primary trading endpoint at https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange includes over 400 tools. Through this interface, agents inspect balances and submit spot orders.
Gate splits its capabilities across distinct endpoints. General market data on /mcp requires no credentials at all. News feeds stay open as well. However, private operations demand Gate OAuth2 authorization. Without granting explicit scopes, trading tools and wallet transfers will fail.
What it helps with
- Query order books and candlestick charts without exchange credentials
- Create and cancel spot or futures orders through an AI agent
- Check unified account and sub-account balances
- Transfer assets between internal wallet accounts
Example prompts for the agent
- Check the current balance on my unified Gate account
- Fetch the order book for the BTC_USDT spot pair from Gate
- Cancel my open limit orders on the Gate spot market
