# 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

| Type | Name | Endpoint / Config |
|------|------|-------------------|
| MCP | Gate (main) | `npx -y gate-mcp`, see [gate-mcp](https://github.com/gate/gate-mcp) |
| MCP | Gate Dex | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/dex, fixed x-api-key |
| MCP | Gate Info | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/info |
| MCP | Gate News | https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp/news |
| Skills | gate-skills | https://github.com/gate/gate-skills (installs all under skills/) |

## 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`
