📦 Installation

pip install okx-dex-mcp

🔧 Setup

1. Get OKX API Credentials

  1. Create a free account at OKX.com
  2. Go to AccountAPI Management
  3. Create a new API key with the following permissions:
    • Read - For market data access
    • Trade - For DEX operations (if needed)

2. Configure Environment Variables

Create a .env file in your project directory:

# OKX API Configuration
OKX_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
OKX_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
OKX_PASSPHRASE=your_passphrase_here

# Optional: Enable sandbox mode for testing
OKX_SANDBOX=false

3. Verify Installation

# Test the installation with demo mode
okx-dex-demo

🎯 Usage

🚀 Quick Start with UVX (Recommended)

Run directly from PyPI without installation:

# Run demo (one command)
uvx --from okx-dex-mcp okx-dex-demo

# Start MCP server (one command)
uvx --from okx-dex-mcp okx-dex-mcp

📦 Traditional Installation

Install and run locally:

# Install the package
pip install okx-dex-mcp

# Run demo
okx-dex-demo

# Start MCP server
okx-dex-mcp

As MCP Server

Start the MCP server for integration with AI assistants:

okx-dex-mcp

As Python Library

import asyncio
from okx_dex_mcp.api.market_data import search_dex_tokens, get_dex_quote
from okx_dex_mcp.same_chain.swaps import execute_dex_swap

async def example_usage():
    # Search for USDC on Ethereum
    tokens = await search_dex_tokens("USDC", "1")
    print(f"Found {len(tokens)} USDC tokens")
    
    # Get a trading quote
    quote = await get_dex_quote(
        from_token="0xa0b86a33e6ba3e0e4ca4ba5e7e5e8e8e8e8e8e8e",
        to_token="0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2",
        amount="1000000",  # 1 USDC (6 decimals)
        chain_id="1"
    )
    print(f"Quote: {quote}")

# Run the example
asyncio.run(example_usage())

🛠️ MCP Tools

The server provides 11 essential tools for DEX operations:

Credentials & Setup

  • check_api_credentials_tool - Validate OKX API credentials

Market Data

  • get_supported_dex_chains_tool - Get list of supported blockchain networks
  • get_chain_top_tokens_tool - Get top tokens by market cap on specific chains
  • search_dex_tokens_tool - Search for tokens by name or symbol
  • get_dex_market_summary_tool - Get comprehensive market data for tokens

Same-Chain Trading

  • get_dex_quote_tool - Get DEX trading quotes with price impact analysis
  • execute_dex_swap_tool - Execute same-chain swaps with automatic token approval
  • check_token_allowance_status_tool - Check token allowances (debugging utility)

Cross-Chain Trading

  • get_cross_chain_quote_tool - Get cross-chain trading quotes
  • get_bridge_token_suggestions_tool - Get bridge token recommendations
  • execute_cross_chain_swap_tool - Execute cross-chain swaps

💡 Examples

Example 1: Get Market Data

# Get top 10 tokens on Polygon
top_tokens = await get_chain_top_tokens("137", 10)

# Search for WETH tokens
weth_tokens = await search_dex_tokens("WETH", "1")

# Get market summary for ETH
eth_summary = await get_dex_market_summary("ETH", "1")

Example 2: Get Trading Quote

# Get quote for swapping 0.1 ETH to USDC on Ethereum
quote = await get_dex_quote(
    from_token="0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE",  # ETH
    to_token="0xA0b86a33E6Ba3E0E4Ca4ba5E7E5E8E8E8E8E8E8E",    # USDC
    amount="100000000000000000",  # 0.1 ETH (18 decimals)
    chain_id="1"
)

Example 3: Execute Swap

# Execute the swap (requires wallet private key)
result = await execute_dex_swap(
    from_token="0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE",
    to_token="0xA0b86a33E6Ba3E0E4Ca4ba5E7E5E8E8E8E8E8E8E",
    amount="100000000000000000",
    chain_id="1",
    user_wallet_address="0x...",
    private_key="your_private_key",
    slippage="0.5"  # 0.5%
)

🔒 Security

Private Key Handling

  • Private keys are only used for transaction signing
  • Keys are never stored or logged
  • All operations use secure Web3 libraries
  • Transactions are signed locally

API Security

  • OKX API credentials are encrypted in transit
  • Rate limiting and error handling built-in
  • Sandbox mode available for testing

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"API credentials invalid"

  • Verify your OKX API key, secret, and passphrase
  • Ensure API key has proper permissions
  • Check if sandbox mode is correctly configured

"Insufficient liquidity"

  • Try a larger trade amount
  • Check if the token pair has sufficient liquidity
  • Consider using a different DEX or route

"Transaction failed"

  • Increase slippage tolerance
  • Ensure sufficient gas fees
  • Verify wallet has enough balance
