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 |
| 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
- Default: When the user does not specify which MCPs to install, install all MCPs (main, dex, info, news) + all gate-skills.
- Selectable MCPs: Users can choose to install only specific MCPs (e.g. main only, dex only, etc.); follow the user's selection.
- Skills: Unless
--no-skillsis 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
- Gate (main): stdio,
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-skillswhen 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_KEYandGATE_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--mcpis passed; pass multiple--mcpto install only specified ones;--no-skillsinstalls MCP only. - The DEX x-api-key is fixed as
MCP_AK_8W2N7Qand written to config.toml.
