OKX Agent Trade Kit

OKX Agent Trade Kit — an AI-powered trading toolkit with two standalone packages:

Package	Description
`okx-trade-mcp`	MCP server for Claude / Cursor and any MCP-compatible AI client
`okx-trade-cli`	CLI for operating OKX from terminal

What is this?

OKX Agent Trade Kit connects AI assistants directly to your OKX account via the Model Context Protocol. Instead of switching between your AI and the exchange UI, you describe what you want — the AI calls the right tools and executes it.

It runs as a local process with your API keys stored only on your machine. No cloud services, no data leaving your device.
