5 minute setup

Quick Start Guide

Get your AI agent trading in 5 minutes

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ installed
  • An MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenClaw, etc.)
  • Exchange API keys (optional, only for trading)

Setup Steps

1

Install the OpenMM Skills

Add OpenMM tools to your agent with a single command

npx skills add qbt-labs/openmm

💡 This installs all OpenMM skills: market-data, trading, and cardano

2

Configure Your Agent

Add the MCP server to your agent configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openmm": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@qbt-labs/openmm-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

💡 Configuration varies by client — see MCP Setup for specific instructions

3

Add Your API Keys

Set exchange credentials as environment variables

export MEXC_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export MEXC_SECRET="your-secret"

💡 Only needed for trading operations. Market data works without keys.

4

Start Using OpenMM

Ask your agent to interact with exchanges

"Get the BTC/USDT price on MEXC"
"Show my balances across all exchanges"
"What's the orderbook for ETH/USDT?"

💡 Your agent now has access to 30+ trading tools
