In plain English

OKX Agent Trade Kit is a toolkit that connects AI assistants directly to your OKX cryptocurrency exchange account. Instead of manually placing trades through the exchange website, you can describe what you want to your AI assistant, for example buy one hundred dollars of Bitcoin or show me my current positions, and the assistant carries it out through your account using the Model Context Protocol, a standard way for AI tools to connect to external services. The toolkit ships as two separate packages. The first is an MCP server that integrates with AI coding assistants such as Claude Desktop and Cursor. The second is a command line interface for operating your OKX account directly from a terminal without going through an AI assistant at all. Together the two packages expose one hundred forty five tools spread across eleven modules, covering the full trading lifecycle: real time market data, spot trading, futures, perpetual swaps, options, trading bots such as grid and dollar cost averaging strategies, earning and staking features, cryptocurrency news, and signals that track what professional traders are doing, described in the project as smart money tracking. Everything runs locally on your own machine. Your API keys never leave your device, and there is no cloud service or database required to operate it. A read only mode flag lets you explore what the toolkit can do without any risk of accidentally placing a real order, and a per module filtering option along with a built in rate limiter add further safety controls. Setup involves installing the package through npm, running an interactive wizard to configure your OKX API credentials, then registering the MCP server with your chosen AI client in a single command. The toolkit also ships prebuilt skill files for AI agent frameworks, giving the agent ready made instructions for when and how to use each module. It is released under the MIT license.
