OKX MCP Server

OKX MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to OKX trading and portfolio management functionality. This package allows AI assistants to interact with your OKX account to retrieve portfolio information, trading positions, order history, and more.

This MCP server is designed with security as a top priority. Here's what makes it safe to use:

🔒 Built-in Security Features

• Read-Only Access: The server only requires read permissions - it cannot place trades or withdraw funds
• Local Processing: All data is processed locally on your machine and never stored or transmitted to third parties
• No Data Persistence: Your trading data is never saved to disk or cached permanently
• Direct API Communication: Connects directly to OKX APIs without intermediary servers

What You Can Do

📱 See It In Action

Example: Ask Claude "give me account summary" and instantly get your portfolio breakdown, asset allocation, and trading insights—all from your OKX account data.

Transform your trading experience with AI-powered portfolio insights. Once configured, you can ask Claude natural language questions about your OKX account:

💰 Portfolio Management

• "What's my current portfolio balance?"
• "Show me my asset allocation"
• "Which coins do I own and how much are they worth?"
• "What's my biggest position by value?"

📊 Trading Analysis

• "Show me my open positions with P&L"
• "What orders do I have pending?"
• "Analyze my BTC trading history from last month"
• "How did my ETH trades perform this week?"

🎯 Smart Insights

• "What's my total unrealized profit/loss?"
• "Which assets have gained the most value?"
• "Give me a summary of my trading activity"
• "How is my portfolio performing today?"

🔍 Detailed Reporting

• "Create a detailed report of my portfolio"
• "Show me all my completed trades for BTC-USDT"
• "What's my trading volume for this month?"
• "Break down my portfolio by percentage"

The AI can provide instant analysis, generate insights, and help you make informed trading decisions—all through simple conversation.

Quick Start

Step 1: Create OKX API Credentials

1. Access Your OKX Account:

   • New users: Sign up at OKX.com and complete account verification

2. Open API Management:

   • Navigate directly to: https://www.okx.com/account/my-api

3. Create Your API Key:

   • Click "Create API Key"
   • Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "MCP Server")
   • Create and save a secure passphrase (you'll need this later)

4. Set Read-Only Permissions:

   • Read: ✅ Enable (required for portfolio access)
   • Trade: ❌ Disable (not needed for this MCP server)
   • Withdraw: ❌ Disable (not needed for this MCP server)

5. Generate and Copy Credentials:

   • Click "Submit All" to create the API key
   • Click "Show info" to reveal your credentials
   • Click "Copy API key info" to copy all details

   Your credentials will look like this:

   apikey = "12345678-abcd-1234-efgh-123456789abc"
   secretkey = "ABCD1234EFGH5678IJKL9012MNOP3456"
   IP = ""
   API key name = "MCP Server"
   Permissions = "Read"
   

6. Secure Your Credentials:

   • Save the API Key, Secret Key, and Passphrase in a secure location
   • ⚠️ Critical: The Secret Key is only shown once - save it immediately!
   • These credentials will be used to configure Claude Desktop in the next step
