MCP support
The server exposes OKX account, trading, and market-data tools to MCP clients. It can run locally via uvx or provide a Streamable HTTP connection through Docker, and requires OKX API credentials.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
