Installation Check

• Required: Gate (main), Gate-Dex, Gate-Info, Gate-News
• Install: Run installer skill for your IDE

MCP Mode

Read and strictly follow references/mcp.md, then execute this installer workflow.

• SKILL.md keeps product scope, install behavior, and user-facing guidance.
• references/mcp.md is the authoritative execution layer for preflight checks, config merge safety, and install verification steps.

CEX MCP modes

See gate-mcp: Local = stdio gate-mcp with API keys; Remote Public = https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp (no auth); Remote Exchange = https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange (Gate OAuth2). Dex/Info/News are separate endpoints on the same host.

Resources

Type	Name	Endpoint / Config
MCP	Gate (main)	stdio command = "npx", args = ["-y", "gate-mcp"], optional env for keys
MCP	gate-cex-pub (cex-public)	url = "https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp"
MCP	gate-cex-ex (cex-exchange)	url = "https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange" (OAuth2 in client)
MCP	gate-dex (dex)	https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/dex, http_headers x-api-key + Bearer token
MCP	gate-info (info)	https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/info
MCP	gate-news (news)	https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/news
Skills	gate-skills	https://github.com/gate/gate-skills (installs all under skills/)

Behavior Rules

1. Default: When the user does not specify which MCPs to install, install all MCPs (main, cex-public, cex-exchange, dex, info, news) + all gate-skills.
2. Selectable MCPs: Users can choose to install only specific MCPs; follow the user's selection.
3. Skills: Unless --no-skills is passed, always install all skills from the gate-skills repository's skills/ directory.

Installation Steps

1. Confirm User Selection (MCPs)

• If the user does not specify which MCPs → install all: main, cex-public, cex-exchange, dex, info, news.
• If the user specifies "only install xxx" → install only the specified MCPs.

2. Write Codex MCP Config

• User-level config: ~/.codex/config.toml (or $CODEX_HOME/config.toml). Creates the file and writes [mcp_servers] with corresponding tables if it does not exist.
• If it already exists, merge: only append Gate MCP sections that don't already exist; do not overwrite existing config.
• Config details:
  • Gate (main): stdio, command / args / optional env for GATE_API_KEY / GATE_API_SECRET
  • gate-cex-pub / gate-cex-ex: url as above (no http_headers for remote CEX)
  • gate-dex: url + http_headers for x-api-key and Bearer
  • gate-info / gate-news: url

3. Install gate-skills (all)

• Pull all subdirectories under skills/ from https://github.com/gate/gate-skills and copy them to $CODEX_HOME/skills/ (default ~/.codex/skills/).
• Add --no-skills when using the script to install MCP only without skills.

4. Post-Installation Prompt

• Inform the user of the installed MCP list and "all gate-skills have been installed" (unless --no-skills was used).
• Prompt to restart Codex to load MCP servers and skills.
• Local API Key: For Gate (main) trading via API keys → https://www.gate.com/myaccount/profile/api-key/manage
• gate-cex-ex: Complete Gate OAuth2 when Codex prompts on first use.
• Gate-Dex: If auth required, open https://web3.gate.com/ for wallet, then complete OAuth via the assistant link.

Script

Use the scripts/install.sh in this skill directory for one-click installation.

• Usage:
  ./scripts/install.sh [--mcp main|cex-public|cex-exchange|dex|info|news] ... [--no-skills]
  Installs all MCPs when no --mcp is passed; pass multiple --mcp to install only specified ones; --no-skills installs MCP only.
• The DEX x-api-key is fixed as MCP_AK_8W2N7Q and written to config.toml.

After downloading this skill from GitHub, run from the repository root:
bash skills/gate-mcp-codex-installer/scripts/install.sh
Or (MCP only):
bash skills/gate-mcp-codex-installer/scripts/install.sh --no-skills
