gainium-mcp
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Gainium — the crypto trading bot platform. Lets AI assistants manage your bots, deals, balances, and more through a standard MCP interface.
Detailed setup and connection documentation is available in docs/using-gainium-mcp.md.
Quick Start
1. Get your API keys
Go to Gainium API Settings and create an API key pair.
2. Add to your MCP client
Add this to your MCP configuration (VS Code, Claude Desktop, etc.):
{
"gainium-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "gainium-mcp"],
"env": {
"GAINIUM_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>",
"GAINIUM_API_SECRET": "<your-api-secret>"
}
}
}That's it. The server starts automatically when your AI assistant needs it.
This local stdio mode uses GAINIUM_API_KEY and GAINIUM_API_SECRET from the server process environment.
