Each operation has a description such as \"Places a buy order for an instrument.\" with parameter notes, and the articles say when to use WebSocket subscriptions over polling, but the reference seldom says when not to use a method (13 of 20). Parameters are typed with enums (order `type` has eight values, `time_in_force` four) and required flags, with `amount` or `contracts` as a documented either-or (13 of 15). Every reference page carries an example request and response, and the errors page lists about 159 codes with retry guidance, though most operations document only a 200 response and the smaller error tables disagree with the full one on two codes (12 of 15). A versioned path (/api/v2), a production and an upcoming docs branch, and a dated changelog of 64 entries since 21 January 2020 (15). Total 88.\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### Maintenance \u0026 community: Gate +12\n\n- Deribit (65): Read as a closed service. The JSON-RPC changelog's latest production entry is 13 October 2026 and an entry dated 5 November 2026 describes the next release; Deribit's posts of 14 October and 2 November 2026 change fees (30). Entries of 18 August, 15 September and 13 October 2026, three in 90 days (20). A public changelog and a support site; whether support answers wasn't tested and the support site refused our reader (10 of 15). No official SDK and no MCP registry entry (0). The OpenAPI and AsyncAPI files are maintained with the docs (5 of 10). Total 65.\n- Gate (77): Read as a hosted service with open-source MCP packages. The API changelog's latest entry is 2 November 2026 and gate-skills was pushed 3 November (30). 40 dated changelog entries since 5 August 2026 (20). developer@gate.com, a help centre and issue trackers on gate-mcp and gate-skills, replies not checked (12 of 25). In the official MCP registry under io.github.gateio-dev, a GitHub namespace rather than gate.com, and official SDKs current (10 of 15). The local package has a publish workflow and no test workflow in CI, and its last tag is 16 April 2026 (5 of 10). 77.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Gate +10\n\n- Deribit (25): No machine payment protocol (0). The fee schedule is on support.deribit.com, which answered 403; Deribit's own posts give VIP4 to VIP7 taker fees and the 0 bps linear options maker fee, so partial prices are public but the lowest tier is unchecked (5 of 20). Public market data needs no key and the test environment is free, with no card anywhere (20). A person signs up in a browser with identity checks before any key exists (0). Total 25.\n- Gate (35): No machine payment protocol (0). The fee page's table loads after login; help centre and learn articles give the VIP 0 spot rates (15 of 20). Market data over REST and the public MCP needs no account and no card (20). A person registers, verifies identity and mints the key or approves the grant in a browser (0). 35.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Deribit +8\n\n- Deribit (74): An API, read for response sizing. `public/get_order_book` takes `depth`, `get_instruments` filters by currency and kind, and history methods take `count` and `offset`, though `get_instruments` returns every instrument for a currency and costs 10,000 credits (18 of 25). Count and offset pagination, time ranges on trade and transaction logs, and WebSocket channels with interval and depth options (16 of 20). Numeric error codes with short names, a `wait` value on some errors, and sample code that branches on them (18 of 20). A `nonce` on orders since May 2026 returns the existing order on retry, a `label` lets an agent find its own orders, and 10040 marks the calls safe to retry; no MCP annotations apply (16 of 20). Few required parameters and sensible defaults (limit and good_til_cancelled), but no official SDK in any language, so every caller signs and frames JSON-RPC itself (6 of 15). Total 74.\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## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Deribit | Gate | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 42 | Deribit +3 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 88 | 70 | Deribit +18 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 74 | 66 | Deribit +8 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 62 | 60 | Deribit +2 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 25 | 35 | Gate +10 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 65 | 77 | Gate +12 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 46 | 49 | Gate +3 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **59 · C** | **56.4 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Deribit | Gate |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Deribit FZE | Gate |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | `https://api.gatemcp.ai/mcp` |\n| Transports | | Streamable HTTP, stdio |\n| Auth | API key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary hosted exchange.

There is no official MCP server or client library, the fee schedule, terms and privacy policy sit on a support site that refused our reader, and the status page did not resolve.\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### Deribit\n\n1. Create the key with `trade:read_write` and `wallet:none`, an `ip:` limit and an `expires` value; keep `account:read` unless the task edits subaccounts\n2. Authenticate with `client_signature` or an Ed25519 key over WebSocket rather than `client_credentials` over HTTP, which puts the secret in the URL\n3. Watch the `limits` field of `private/get_account_summary` and back off on error 10028; a session that runs out of credits is closed and must reconnect\n4. Send a `nonce` with orders so a retry after a timeout does not place a second order, and treat `order_not_found` on cancel as a possible fill\n5. Develop against https://test.deribit.com/api/v2 first; production and test need separate accounts and keys\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. Read X-Gate-RateLimit-Requests-Remain and stop at zero; spot order placement is capped at 10 a second and withdrawals at 1 per 3 seconds\n5. Rehearse futures logic on api-testnet.gateapi.io with TestNet keys; there is no spot testnet\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Deribit or Gate?\n\nDeribit scores 59 (C) on agent readiness against Gate's 56.4 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
