Gate One-Click Installer (Claude Code: MCP + Skills)

General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding. Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority. → Read gate-runtime-rules.md

Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill. Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they exist in the MCP server.

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 environment checks, config merge rules, and failure rollback guidance.

CEX MCP modes (read before configuring)

Aligned with gate-mcp documentation:

Mode	What it is	Auth	Typical use
Local CEX	stdio `npx -y gate-mcp` (npm package gate-mcp)	Optional `GATE_API_KEY` / `GATE_API_SECRET` (public-only works without keys; set `GATE_READONLY=true` for read-only)	Full local tool surface; tool names use abbreviations (`fx`, `dc`, ...) — see gate-mcp gate-local-mcp-tools doc
Remote CEX — Public	`https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp`	None	Public market data only (~58 tools, `cex_*` names)
Remote CEX — Exchange	`https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange`	Gate OAuth2 (browser login)	Private trading & account (~400+ tools); does not duplicate the full public market-data set — use Public remote or Local for market queries as needed

Non-CEX (same host): Dex (/mcp/dex, Google/Gate OAuth + fixed x-api-key), Info (/mcp/info), News (/mcp/news).

Resources

Type	Name	Endpoint / Config
MCP	Gate (Local CEX, `main`)	stdio `npx -y gate-mcp`, env `GATE_API_KEY` / `GATE_API_SECRET` — gate-mcp
MCP	gate-cex-pub (`cex-public`)	`https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp`, HTTP, `type`+`url` only (no headers), no auth
MCP	gate-cex-ex (`cex-exchange`)	`https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/exchange`, HTTP, `type`+`url` only; Gate OAuth2 on first use
MCP	Gate-Dex (`dex`)	`https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/dex`, fixed `x-api-key` + `Authorization: Bearer ${GATE_MCP_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

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.
Selectable MCPs: Users can choose to install only specific MCPs; follow the user's selection (--mcp can be repeated).
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 Claude Code MCP Config

User-level config: ~/.claude.json (Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.claude.json). If using directory format, use the corresponding config under ~/.claude/.
If it already exists, merge into the existing mcpServers; do not overwrite other MCPs.
Config details:
- Gate (main): stdio, command: npx, args: ["-y", "gate-mcp"], optional env for API keys
- gate-cex-pub: type: http, url only (remote CEX public; no extra headers)
- gate-cex-ex: type: http, url for /mcp/exchange only; OAuth2 is completed in the client when prompted
- Gate-Dex: http, url + headers["x-api-key"] = MCP_AK_8W2N7Q + Authorization = Bearer ${GATE_MCP_TOKEN}
- Gate-Info / Gate-News: http, url

3. Install gate-skills (all)

Pull all subdirectories under skills/ from https://github.com/gate/gate-skills and copy them to ~/.claude/skills/ (or the corresponding directory for the current environment).
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 reopen Claude Code or start a new session to load the MCPs.
Local API Key: If Gate (main) is used for trading via API keys, direct the user to https://www.gate.com/myaccount/profile/api-key/manage and set GATE_API_KEY / GATE_API_SECRET in the Gate entry env.
Remote Exchange OAuth2: If gate-cex-ex was installed, the user completes Gate OAuth2 in the browser when the client prompts (scopes: market, profile, trade, wallet, account).
Gate-Dex Authorization: If Gate-Dex was installed and a query returns an authorization required message, prompt the user to first open https://web3.gate.com/ to create or bind a wallet, then complete OAuth via the link the assistant provides.

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 the config.

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