OKX Agent Trade Kit

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.

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 — handles Node.js check, install, and client detection automatically.
For live trading, multiple profiles, or other clients, see configuration →.

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-algois not valid. See CLI reference · CLI vs MCP tool names.
