MCP Endpoints
The service exposes the following MCP endpoints:
- 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) - ChatGPT / OpenAI Apps Gate Info listing → Use
/mcp/open/info(7-tool allowlist; 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/open/info, /mcp/news, and /mcp/docs do not require any authentication.
Using mcporter
Prerequisites: Node.js >= 18, npm. See Quick Start - mcporter for full installation steps.
# Add Private MCP (trading, requires OAuth)
mcporter config add gate-mcp --url https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange --auth oauth
# Authorize (opens browser to log in)
mcporter auth gate-mcp

Trae
Edit Trae settings. Uses mcp-remote to proxy HTTP MCP (OAuth prompt on first connect for /mcp/exchange):
{
"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):
{
"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:
{
"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:
{
"mcpServers": {
"gate-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "gate-mcp"],
"type": "stdio"
}
}
}
With API key authentication:
{
"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/open/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.
