OKX Agent Trade Kit — an AI-powered trading toolkit with two standalone packages:
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| `okx-trade-mcp` | MCP server for Claude / Cursor and any MCP-compatible AI client |
| `okx-trade-cli` | CLI for operating OKX from terminal |
---
## What is this?
OKX Agent Trade Kit connects AI assistants directly to your OKX account via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io). Instead of switching between your AI and the exchange UI, you describe what you want — the AI calls the right tools and executes it.
It runs as a **local process** with your API keys stored only on your machine. No cloud services, no data leaving your device.
## Features
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **145 tools across 11 modules** | Full trading lifecycle: market data → orders → algo orders → account management → earn → trading bots → event contracts → news → smart money signals |
| **Algo orders built-in** | Conditional, OCO take-profit/stop-loss, trailing stop |
| **Safety controls** | `--read-only` flag, per-module filtering, built-in rate limiter |
| **Zero infrastructure** | Local stdio process, no server or database required |
| **MCP standard** | Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, openCxxW, and any MCP-compatible client |
| **Agent Skills included** | Pre-built skill files for AI agent frameworks — drop-in instructions covering market data, trading, portfolio, bots, and earn |
| **Open source** | MIT license, API keys never leave your machine |

## Quick Start
**Prerequisites:** Node.js >= 18
```bash
# 1. Install
npm install -g @okx_ai/okx-trade-mcp @okx_ai/okx-trade-cli
# 2. Configure OKX API credentials (interactive wizard)
okx config init
# 3. Register the MCP server with your AI client
okx-trade-mcp setup --client claude-desktop
okx-trade-mcp setup --client cursor
okx-trade-mcp setup --client claude-code
okx-trade-mcp setup --client vscode # writes .mcp.json in current directory
```
> **Alternative:** [One-line install script](docs/configuration.md#one-line-install) — handles Node.js check, install, and client detection automatically.
>
> For live trading, multiple profiles, or other clients, see [configuration →](docs/configuration.md).

okx-trade-mcp --modules market # market data only (no auth needed)
okx-trade-mcp --modules spot,account # spot trading + account
okx-trade-mcp --profile live --modules all # all modules including earn
okx-trade-mcp --read-only # query tools only, no writes

## okx-trade-cli
```bash
okx market ticker BTC-USDT
okx spot place --instId BTC-USDT --side buy --ordType market --sz 100
okx account balance
```
> **Naming note** — CLI subcommands use **spaces** (`okx swap algo place`). AI agents see the same features under underscored MCP tool names (`swap_place_algo_order`). Do not convert MCP identifiers into hyphen-joined CLI commands — `okx swap place-algo` is not valid. See [CLI reference · CLI vs MCP tool names](docs/cli-reference.md#cli-vs-mcp-tool-names).

## Agent Skills
Pre-built skill files for AI agent frameworks are included in the [`skills/`](skills/) directory. Each skill tells the agent when to activate and how to use the `okx` CLI for a specific task category.
