OKX Agent Trade Kit

English | 中文

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. 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

167 tools across 11 modules (17 sub-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

okx-trade-mcp

okx-trade-mcp                                        # default: spot, swap, account
okx-trade-mcp --modules market                       # market data only (no auth needed)
okx-trade-mcp --modules spot,account                 # spot trading + account

okx-trade-cli

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.
