Each endpoint states its weight, parameters and notes on behaviour, with less on when not to use one (15 of 20). Enums for order types, time in force and symbol filters, required columns in the parameter tables (12 of 15). Request and response examples throughout and an error code list with messages (14 of 15). A dated changelog since 2018 with retirements announced months ahead, such as the 2 September 2026 field removal notified on 2 December 2025 (15). 20 + 10 + 15 + 12 + 14 + 15 = 86.\n- Gate (70): No public OpenAPI file was found, though the SDKs are generated and the MCP tools carry typed parameters per the tool reference; the hosted tools' JSON Schema could not be read without a session (12 of 25). The whole REST and WebSocket documentation is downloadable as Markdown and the agent guide is a plain page (10). The tool reference gives one line and the main parameters per tool, the API reference a description per endpoint, no when-not-to-use guidance (12 of 20). Required flags, enums for side, type and time_in_force (11 of 15). Examples per endpoint and a labelled error body with a fixed label list the docs tell you to branch on instead of messages (13 of 15). A versioned changelog, v4.106.177 on 2 November 2026 (12 of 15, since entries are terse). 70.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Binance API +12\n\n- Binance API (72): API keys with HMAC, RSA or Ed25519 signatures, permissions for reading, trading, futures and withdrawals, an IP restriction, revocation in API Management, and OAuth with four scopes on the MCP server; no key expiry found (28 of 30). Read-only keys, sub-accounts, withdrawals only with an IP restriction, and the MCP server's isolated Agentic sub-account with no withdrawal scope and confirmation before writes (18 of 20). The API returns no untrusted content (10). Keys are listed in API Management and used weight is returned per call, but no per-call log for the operator was found (6 of 15). security.txt with a contact and no expiry, a Bugcrowd programme named in the proof-of-solvency repository, no certification read (10 of 20). 28 + 18 + 10 + 6 + 10 = 72.\n- Gate (60): Gate OAuth 2 for the hosted trading MCP with eight scopes per the protected-resource metadata and revocation on the API management page, and API keys with disabled, read-only or read-write per product group, a separate withdrawal group and an IP allow-list of 20 addresses (30). A read-only key and a GATE_READONLY switch exist, and the guide says fund-moving actions need the person's confirmation in the client, with no server-side cap documented (15 of 20). The news and info servers return third-party content with no guidance on treating it as untrusted (5 of 15). Key changes and OAuth grants are visible on the API management page; no per-call log found (5 of 15). No security.txt, no disclosure policy or bounty on a page we read, a proof-of-reserves repository (5 of 20). 60.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Binance API +10\n\n- Binance API (76): limit on depth, trades and klines, a symbols filter on exchangeInfo and tickers, and SBE encoding, though fields cannot be selected (16 of 25). fromId, startTime, endTime and limit on history endpoints (16 of 20). Error codes with messages an agent can branch on, such as the rate limit and timestamp errors (17 of 20). newClientOrderId on orders, a cancel-replace endpoint and the 5xx unknown-status rule, but no idempotency key on other writes (12 of 20). Connectors in nine languages, a CLI with testnet and demo profiles, and a timestamped HMAC or Ed25519 signature on every private call (15). 16 + 16 + 17 + 12 + 15 = 76.\n- Gate (66): Read for the API with the hosted MCP beside it. The MCP is split by endpoint (58 public tools on /mcp, 400 or more on /mcp/exchange, smaller info and news servers) and the local package filters by module and read-only flag, which stands in for toolsets (5 of 25 for the trading server, 10 added back). Pagination by page and limit, from and to timestamps, status filters (15 of 20). Error labels such as INVALID_SIGNATURE, REQUEST_EXPIRED, IP_FORBIDDEN and READ_ONLY name the recovery (15 of 20). The `text` order identifier makes retries safe; the local server's source sets no readOnlyHint or destructiveHint and the hosted annotations are unread (8 of 20). Three required fields on a spot order, SDKs in seven languages and a CLI (13 of 15). 66.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Gate +6\n\n- Binance API (43): The editorial half. A closed service whose Terms of Use couldn't be read; the docs, connectors, CLI and skills are MIT on GitHub (10 of 30). The privacy notice couldn't be read, so no retention or subprocessor statement was checked; the prohibited-countries list is public and dated (5 of 30). The changelog gives retirement dates for SBE schemas and FIX fields months ahead (16 of 20). No subprocessor or data-location statement read (0 of 20). 10 + 5 + 16 + 0 = 31.\n- Gate (49): The editorial half. A closed hosted service with a clear user agreement that names no company; the MCP packages are MIT (12 of 30). The privacy policy names a DPO address and categories of recipients, with no retention numbers and no named subprocessors (12 of 30). The changelog records breaking changes such as the amend endpoint path move of 16 October 2026 with no notice period or policy (8 of 20). Transfers outside the user's jurisdiction are disclosed with no locations or provider names (5 of 20). 37.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Binance API | Gate | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 42 | Binance API +3 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 86 | 70 | Binance API +16 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 76 | 66 | Binance API +10 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 72 | 60 | Binance API +12 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 35 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 81 | 77 | Binance API +4 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 43 | 49 | Gate +6 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **63.2 · B** | **56.4 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Binance API | Gate |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Binance | Gate |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://agent.binance.com/mcp/agentic` | `https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp` |\n| Transports | Streamable HTTP | Streamable HTTP, stdio |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary hosted service under Binance's Terms of Use, which load by script and weren't read.

There is no status page, the terms and privacy notice could not be read, and the MCP tool list is not published.\n\n**Gate.** Gate runs official hosted MCP servers with keyless market data and OAuth-scoped trading, a local stdio server with a read-only switch, per-endpoint rate limits with headers and a futures testnet. There is no status page, SLA or OpenAPI file, the fee table needs a login, the MCP host is a separate domain, and the terms name no company.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Binance API\n\n1. Read the X-MBX-USED-WEIGHT and X-MBX-ORDER-COUNT headers and stop on 429 for the Retry-After seconds; a 418 ban runs 2 minutes to 3 days\n2. Treat a 5xx on an order as unknown, not failed, and query the order by origClientOrderId before retrying\n3. Use an Ed25519 key with an IP restriction and only the reading and trading permissions; never enable withdrawals for an agent key\n4. Develop on testnet.binance.vision with BINANCE_API_ENV=testnet; it resets about monthly without notice\n5. For the MCP route, the person must fund the Agentic sub-account from the web UI first; the agent cannot move funds in from the main account\n\n### Gate\n\n1. Start on https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp for prices and order books with no credential; switch to /mcp/exchange only when the person has approved the OAuth grant with the narrowest scopes\n2. For a key-based route, create a key on a dedicated sub-account with read-only on every group but the one the task needs, withdrawal disabled and an IP allow-list; changes take up to 5 minutes\n3. Put a unique `text` value starting with t- on every spot order and reuse it on the retry; read the order back before placing again\n4.
