Assessment. 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.

From our research 11 facts checked against the vendor's pages
- Surface listed
- The API v4 at api.gateio.ws, read from gate.com/docs/developers (API v4 and the agent guide), the gate GitHub organisation, the MCP registry, the OAuth metadata on api.gatemcp.ai, the help centre and the legal pages on 3 November 2026. No account was made, no key minted, no OAuth flow started and no MCP session opened
- MCP server
- Official. Hosted at api.gatemcp.ai over Streamable HTTP with SSE fallback: /mcp (58 market-data tools, no auth), /mcp/exchange (400 or more tools, Gate OAuth 2), /mcp/dex (33 tools, Google or Gate OAuth), /mcp/info (10 to 32 tools by page), /mcp/news (3 to 18) and /mcp/docs (3). Local stdio package npm
gate-mcp0.19.0 with 384 tools in 22 modules, GATE_READONLY and GATE_MODULES. Registry entries under io.github.gateio-dev (GitHub namespace), the remote ones published 16 April 2026. Documented in Gate's developer guide, a help centre article of 26 March 2026 and a blog post of 28 August 2026 - Key permissions
- Per product group (spot and margin, perpetual contract, delivery contract, wallet, withdrawal, with unified, options, earn and others in the console) set to disabled, read-only or read-write; GET is read and other methods write. Up to 20 IPv4 addresses per key, no ranges; with no list the server skips IP checks. The docs say 20 keys per account in one place and 5 in another. Error labels INVALID_KEY, IP_FORBIDDEN and READ_ONLY name the failure
- Rate limits
- Public endpoints 200 requests per 10 seconds per IP; spot order placement and amendment 10 a second combined, cancellation 200 a second; perpetual placement 100 a second; withdrawals 1 per 3 seconds; transfers and balances 80 per 10 seconds; other private endpoints 150 per 10 seconds; sub-accounts counted separately. Headers X-Gate-RateLimit-Limit, X-Gate-RateLimit-Requests-Remain and X-Gate-RateLimit-Reset-Timestamp; HTTP 429 with label TOO_FAST. Fill-ratio rules cut spot placement to 10 per 10 seconds for accounts with low fill ratios. WebSocket 300 connections per IP
- Testnet
- api-testnet.gateapi.io/api/v4 for futures, with keys from the Futures TestNet APIKeys tab; real keys do not work there and no spot testnet is documented
- Fees
- VIP 0 spot taker 0.1 per cent per the help centre, maker 0.1 per cent per Gate's learn articles, 0.09 per cent when paid in GT; tiers VIP 0 to 16. The fee page draws its table after login; the VIP 0 futures rate was not readable
- FIX and WebSocket
- No FIX API in the docs. WebSocket v4 for spot and futures market data and order updates, 10 requests a second on spot and 100 on futures, with order placement and cancellation over the socket; the full WebSocket docs are in the Markdown download
- Countries
- Clause 2.5 names the United States, mainland China, Singapore, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Malta, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Crimea, Spain, Luhansk, Donetsk, the Netherlands, the UK, Myanmar, Venezuela, Uzbekistan, Austria, India, Indonesia, Japan, Argentina, Cambodia, the UAE, Thailand, South Korea, the Philippines, Pakistan, Vietnam and Russia as Restricted Locations, a list Gate may change without notice, with extra limits on TradFi assets. Gate EU, Gate US, Gate JP, Gate TR, Gate AU and Gate Dubai are separate licensed sites
- Terms on automated trading
- Clause 1.3(h) bans algorithmic, quantitative, systematic, high-frequency or automated activity through any channel Gate has not designated for it and any call to undocumented interfaces; clause 1.4 treats strategies that profit mainly from how the system works as prima facie prohibited; clause 2.11 lists unauthorised API use and data scraping; remedies include freezing assets and reversing trades. Clause 11.3 gives no guarantee of uninterrupted service and clause 12.11 caps liability at three months of fees
- Other agent surfaces
- github.com/gate/gate-skills (27 to 41 skills with installers for Cursor, OpenClaw, Claude Code and Codex, pushed 3 November 2026), gate-cli (Go, releases on GitHub, JSON output), gate-for-ai (MIT), and the agent guide's advice to run the agent on a dedicated sub-account with its own key
- Legal entity
- None named in the user agreement or privacy policy, which refer to Gate and its affiliates under the laws of Panama with ICC arbitration in Panama. The about page names Gate Technology Ltd as the Malta payment institution and lists licences in Dubai, Malta, the EU, Australia, Italy and the Bahamas, and says Gate is not registered in the Cayman Islands
Facts verified 3 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown
Strengths
- Hosted MCP at api.gatemcp.ai split by purpose, 58 market-data tools with no credential and trading tools behind Gate OAuth 2 with eight scopes, in the official MCP registry
- API keys with a disabled, read-only or read-write setting per product group, a withdrawal group of its own and an IP allow-list of up to 20 addresses
- Per-endpoint rate limits with X-Gate-RateLimit-Limit, X-Gate-RateLimit-Requests-Remain and X-Gate-RateLimit-Reset-Timestamp headers and a labelled error body
- Futures TestNet at api-testnet.gateapi.io with its own keys, and the complete REST and WebSocket docs downloadable as Markdown
- Official SDKs in Python, Java, PHP, Go, C#, Node.js and JavaScript, a CLI with JSON output, and 40 dated changelog entries in the last 90 days
Weaknesses
- No status page, incident history or SLA; the terms give no uptime guarantee and cap liability at three months of fees
- The MCP endpoints live on gatemcp.ai, not gate.com, and the registry namespace is a GitHub organisation; the OAuth scopes in the metadata differ from the ones the docs describe
- The local MCP server sets no readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations, and the hosted server's annotations could not be read without a session
- The fee table loads only after login, and the docs disagree with themselves on keys per account (5 against 20) and tool counts
- Clause 1.3(h) of the user agreement bans automated activity through any channel Gate has not designated, and the agreement names no legal entity
Before you call it notes for agents
- 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
- 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
- Put a unique
textvalue starting with t- on every spot order and reuse it on the retry; read the order back before placing again - 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
- Rehearse futures logic on api-testnet.gateapi.io with TestNet keys; there is no spot testnet

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.
The user agreement (last updated 22 July 2026) and the privacy policy name only Gate, under the laws of the Republic of Panama with ICC arbitration; no company name or registration number appears. The about page names Gate Technology Ltd for the Malta licence only.
www.gate.com/robots.txt allows the docs, help, legal and about paths and disallows /post/, search results, referral URLs and a list of internal API paths; nothing under those paths was fetched. The /about path answered 403 and /about-us loaded.
RDAP gives gate.com a registration date of 29 March 1996 (Amazon Registrar); the exchange moved from gate.io to gate.com and traces its origin to 2013.
https://www.gate.com/.well-known/security.txt answers 404. No status page found; status.gate.com does not resolve and the docs link none.
The API endpoint api.gateio.ws is Gate's own; the MCP endpoints are on api.gatemcp.ai, a separate domain whose OAuth metadata points back to www.gate.com. The changelog is the versioned section of the API v4 docs page.

Researched 3 November 2026 from public pages. Roles come from Gate's about page (gate.com/about-us, read 3 November 2026), which lists the global leadership and the heads of Gate EU, Dubai, Australia, Turkey, Japan and the US; only the global group is recorded here. The page names Dr. Han as founder and CEO and links x.com/han_gate as his account. The user agreement and privacy policy name no company and apply Panamanian law; the about page names Gate Technology Ltd for the Malta licence only, so ownership is recorded as unknown. Investors were looked for on the about page, in the terms, in one web search and in the Gate for AI pages; the search found a 2020 sale of Gate's GT token for about 64 million dollars in prepaid fees and Gate's own venture arm, Gate Ventures, but no equity round from outside investors on a page we may cite, so none are recorded.

Graded with the hosted lines on the API v4 at api.gateio.ws with the hosted MCP beside it. No status page found (status.gate.com does not resolve, the docs link none), so 0 for the page and 5 for no readable history. Rate limits are published per endpoint group with numbers and fill-ratio rules (15). Every response carries X-Gate-RateLimit-Limit, X-Gate-RateLimit-Requests-Remain and X-Gate-RateLimit-Reset-Timestamp, 429 answers with the label TOO_FAST, and spot orders take a user text identifier, but no retry or idempotency guidance is written down (12 of 15).

Graded 56.4 C methodology v0.7
Fix list 21 items, the biggest gain first
Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on Gate. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.
You're lucky. As part of the beta, your first month is free.
What we couldn't check
- unchecked: the hosted MCP tools as served (names, schemas, annotations); no session was opened. Counts come from the agent guide, the README and the tool reference, which disagree (51 or 58 public tools, 300 or 400 trading tools).
- unchecked: the fee table (login) and the VIP 0 futures rate; the /about page (403, /about-us read instead); the live status of the OAuth flow; whether a status page exists under another host.
- unchecked: the second half of the API v4 docs page beyond the authentication section, and the PRO fill-ratio tier page.
- The OAuth protected-resource metadata lists scopes base, read, asset, spot_trade, futures_trade, earn, cfd and stock; the README and agent guide describe market, profile, trade, wallet and account. Recorded as documentation drift, not deducted.
- The user agreement's clause 1.3(h) bans automated activity through channels Gate has not designated; the API and the MCP servers are Gate's designated channels, so this is recorded as a fact and not deducted.
- Kind http-api, because the docs lead with API v4 and the agent guide is one section; the hosted MCP is in remoteUrl and the local package in packages. The registry name recorded is the local package's; the remote entries share the io.github.gateio-dev namespace.
- firstReleased is 2018-12-29, the creation date of the oldest API v4 SDK repositories (gateapi-python and gateapi-java) in the former gateio GitHub account; Gate dates its founding to 2013 on the about page.
- Legal entity absent in the terms; the about page names Gate Technology Ltd only as the Malta licensee.
- Our own products. It doesn't do LocalGhost's or letme's job; it is one exchange's trading API. Graded the normal way.

Not measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. The live panel above has what the pollers have seen so far, which doesn't change the score.
Pricing & changes
Pay per use 0.1% fee The API and the MCP servers cost nothing; trades carry Gate's fees. The fee page shows its tier table only after login.

The VIP 0 futures rate was not readable (https://www.gate.com/help/trade/spot/41629 and https://www.gate.com/fee, checked 2026-11-03).
