gate-local-mcp

A local (stdio) MCP server that exposes the full Gate.com API v4 to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, etc.).

Quickstart guides: English · 中文

Looking for the remote MCP server? If you need HTTP/SSE-based remote access instead of local stdio, see gate/gate-mcp.

Features

• 148 tools covering Spot, Futures, Delivery, Margin, Wallet, Account, Options, Earn, Flash Swap, Unified, and Sub-Account APIs
• Zero config for public endpoints — market data, tickers, order books work without any credentials
• Authenticated endpoints — trading, wallet, and account tools activate automatically when GATE_API_KEY + GATE_API_SECRET env vars are set
• Testnet support — set GATE_BASE_URL to use the testnet endpoint
