What is okx-agent-trade-kit?

OKX Agent Trade Kit is a toolkit that connects AI assistants such as Claude or Cursor directly to a person's OKX cryptocurrency exchange account, using something called the Model Context Protocol, or MCP, which lets AI tools call external functions. Instead of switching between an AI chat window and the exchange website, a user can describe what they want in plain language and the AI calls the right function to check prices, place trades, or manage the account. It ships as two separate npm packages, one being an MCP server for AI clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor, and the other a command line tool for operating OKX directly from a terminal. The kit runs entirely as a local process on the user's own machine, with API keys stored only there, so no cloud service is involved and no trading data leaves the device. It covers a wide range of functionality across market data, spot trading, perpetual swaps, futures, options, account management, an earn section for lending and staking products, prebuilt trading bots for grid and dollar cost averaging strategies, crypto news, and signals described as smart money tracking. Read only market data tools do not require authentication, but placing trades requires the user's own OKX API credentials, configured through an interactive setup wizard. Getting started involves installing the packages with npm, running a configuration wizard to enter OKX API keys, and registering the tool with a chosen AI client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code. The project also includes a safety flag that restricts the tool to read only queries, and prebuilt skill files meant to teach AI agent frameworks how to use each module correctly. The project is open source under the MIT license, meaning it can be freely used, modified, and redistributed, including commercially, as long as the license text is kept. This is squarely a tool for people already comfortable with cryptocurrency trading and OKX specifically, since misconfigured trading commands issued through an AI assistant carry real financial risk.
