OKX Agent Trade Kit
OKX Agent Trade Kit — an AI-powered trading toolkit with two standalone packages:
What is this?
OKX Agent Trade Kit connects AI assistants directly to your OKX account via the Model Context Protocol. Instead of switching between your AI and the exchange UI, you describe what you want — the AI calls the right tools and executes it.
It runs as a local process with your API keys stored only on your machine. No cloud services, no data leaving your device.
Features
Modules
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Node.js >= 18
# 1. Install

# 2. Configure OKX API credentials (interactive wizard)
okx config init
# 3. Register the MCP server with your AI client
okx-trade-mcp setup --client claude-desktop

Naming note — CLI subcommands use spaces (
okx swap algo place). AI agents see the same features under underscored MCP tool names (swap_place_algo_order). Do not convert MCP identifiers into hyphen-joined CLI commands —okx swap place-algois not valid. See CLI reference · CLI vs MCP tool names.
Agent Skills
Pre-built skill files for AI agent frameworks are included in the skills/ directory. Each skill tells the agent when to activate and how to use the okx CLI for a specific task category.
Reporting Issues
If a tool call or CLI command fails, open an issue and include the full error output.
MCP — copy the structured error block shown in your AI client:
{
"tool": "swap_place_order",
"error": true,
"type": "OkxApiError",
"code": "51020",
"message": "Order quantity invalid",
"endpoint": "POST /api/v5/trade/order",
"traceId": "abc123def456",
"timestamp": "2026-03-03T10:00:00.000Z",
"serverVersion": "1.0.4"
}
CLI — paste the full stderr output:
Error: Order quantity invalid
TraceId: abc123def456
Hint: Check order size against instrument minSz.
