Gate One-Click Installer (Codex: 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 Dependencies

Required MCP Servers

Authentication

• API Key Required: No

Installation Check

• Required: Gate (main), Gate-Dex, Gate-Info, Gate-News
• Install: Run installer skill for your IDE
• Cursor: gate-mcp-cursor-installer
• Codex: gate-mcp-codex-installer
• Claude: gate-mcp-claude-installer
• OpenClaw: gate-mcp-openclaw-installer

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.

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
