Common Commands

# Market / info (no auth)
mcporter call gate-info.list_tickers currency_pair=BTC_USDT
mcporter call gate-news.list_news

# Remote CEX public — list tools first, then call cex_* tools
mcporter list gate-cex-pub

# Local CEX trading (requires API keys in mcporter env)
mcporter call gate.list_spot_accounts

# Remote CEX exchange (OAuth2) — authorize first
mcporter auth gate-cex-ex

# DEX (wallet; may require web3 + OAuth)
mcporter call gate-dex.list_balances

API Configuration

Getting API Keys (Local gate server)

1. Visit https://www.gate.com/myaccount/profile/api-key/manage
2. Create API key with permissions as needed (Read / Trade / Withdraw).

Gate-Dex authorization

When a gate-dex query returns "need authorization": (1) Open https://web3.gate.com/ to create or bind a wallet if needed; (2) Complete OAuth via the link the assistant provides.

Remote CEX exchange (OAuth2)

After install, run mcporter auth gate-cex-ex and complete Gate OAuth2 in the browser.

Storing Credentials

The installer stores credentials in mcporter config where applicable.

Troubleshooting

mcporter not found

npm install -g mcporter

Connection failed

• Verify API keys are correct (for gate)
• For gate-cex-ex, run mcporter auth gate-cex-ex
• Check network: mcporter daemon status if using daemon
