Gate MCP Codex Installer

Gate One-Click Installer (Codex: MCP + Skills)

Use this skill when the user says "one-click install Gate", "install Gate MCP and skills", "Codex install gate-mcp", etc., and is using Codex.

Resources

Behavior Rules

1. Default: When the user does not specify which MCPs to install, install all MCPs (main, dex, info, news) + all gate-skills.
2. Selectable MCPs: Users can choose to install only specific MCPs (e.g. main only, dex only, etc.); 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, 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 = "npx", args = ["-y", "gate-mcp"]
  • gate-dex: streamable HTTP, url + http_headers["x-api-key"] fixed as MCP_AK_8W2N7Q + http_headers["Authorization"] = Bearer ${GATE_MCP_TOKEN}
  • gate-info / gate-news: streamable HTTP, 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.
• Getting API Key: If the user uses Gate (main) for spot/futures trading, prompt them to visit https://www.gate.com/myaccount/profile/api-key/manage to create an API Key and set GATE_API_KEY and GATE_API_SECRET.
• 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 the assistant will return a clickable Google authorization link for the user to complete OAuth.

Script

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

• Usage:
  ./scripts/install.sh [--mcp main|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
