`https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/docs`	None	Docs research (3 tools: research search, coin research, papers)

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)
Research docs & papers → Use /mcp/docs (no auth)

Transport: Streamable HTTP (with SSE fallback).

Authorization (OAuth2)

/mcp/exchange requires Gate OAuth2; /mcp/dex requires Google or Gate OAuth. The endpoints /mcp, /mcp/info, /mcp/news, and /mcp/docs do not require any authentication.

Help me auto install Gate Skills and MCPs: https://github.com/gate/gate-skills

See gate-skills for details.

Method 2: Manual Configuration

bash

# News (no auth)
claude mcp add --transport http Gate-News https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/news

claude mcp list

Trae

Edit Trae settings. Uses mcp-remote to proxy HTTP MCP (OAuth prompt on first connect for /mcp/exchange):

config.json

{
  "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"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Qoder

Edit Qoder MCP settings (e.g. ~/.qoder/mcp.json or in Qoder settings):

config.json

{
  "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

Claude Desktop requires a local stdio proxy.

Download the Python proxy file
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Gate": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/gate-mcp-proxy.py"]
    }
  }
}

See Claude Desktop setup for detailed instructions.

Alternative: gate-local-mcp (local stdio with API keys)

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.

LobeHub (desktop)

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:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gate-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "gate-mcp"],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

With API key authentication:

config.json

{
  "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.

FAQ

Q: Do I need a Gate account?

A: Only for CEX trading and DEX wallet. /mcp, /mcp/info, /mcp/news, and /mcp/docs 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.

Q: Does it support trading?

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).

Q: How often is the data updated?

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