# Gate MCP Installer

One-click setup for Gate MCP (mcporter) in OpenClaw.

## Quick Start

To set up Gate MCP, run the install script:

```bash
bash ~/.openclaw/skills/gate-mcp-installer/scripts/install-gate-mcp.sh
```

Or execute the skill directly and I will guide you through the installation.

## What This Skill Does

This skill automates the complete Gate MCP setup process:

1. **Installs mcporter CLI** globally via npm
2. **Configures Gate MCP server** with proper endpoint
3. **Verifies connectivity** by listing available tools
4. **Provides usage examples** for common queries

## Manual Installation Steps (if script fails)

### Step 1: Install mcporter

```bash
npm i -g mcporter
# Or verify installation
npx mcporter --version
```

### Step 2: Configure Gate MCP

```bash
mcporter config add gate https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp --scope home
```

### Step 3: Verify Configuration

```bash
# Check config is written
mcporter config get gate

# List available tools
mcporter list gate --schema
```

If tools are listed, Gate MCP is ready to use!

## Common Usage Examples

After installation, use Gate MCP with queries like:

- "check BTC/USDT price"
- "use gate mcp to analyze SOL"
- "what arbitrage opportunities are there on Gate?"
- "check ETH funding rate"
