- Recommended Next Steps
- If you're building a DEX:
- Load
- orderly-sdk-install-dependency
- and
- orderly-sdk-dex-architecture
- Install MCP server:
- npx @orderly.network/mcp-server init
- Set up wallet connection with
- orderly-sdk-wallet-connection
- Build your UI with
- orderly-ui-components
- If you're building trading bots or API integrations:
- Load
- orderly-api-authentication
- first
- Install MCP server for API reference
- Load
- orderly-trading-orders
- and
- orderly-websocket-streaming
- If you're launching a white-label DEX:
- Install MCP server for Orderly One API tools:
- npx @orderly.network/mcp-server init
- Load
- orderly-one-dex
- skill for DEX creation and management workflows
- Load
- orderly-sdk-theming
- skill to understand theme structure for API updates
- If you're troubleshooting:
- Load
- orderly-sdk-debugging
- Use MCP server to search documentation
- For testing:
- Use Testnet environment for development
- Request testnet USDC from the faucet:
- POST /v1/faucet/usdc
- (testnet only)
- Each account can use faucet up to 3 times
- Common Issues
- "Where do I start building?"
- Install the MCP server first:
- npx @orderly.network/mcp-server init --client
- Then ask: "How do I connect to Orderly Network?" or load
- orderly-sdk-wallet-connection
- .
- "What's the difference between MCP server and Skills?"
- MCP Server
-
- Runtime tools for your AI assistant (documentation search, pattern lookup, API reference)
- Skills
- Procedural knowledge embedded in your context (how-to guides, code examples, best practices) Use both for the best experience. "How do I test without real funds?" Use the Testnet environment: API: https://testnet-api.orderly.org WebSocket: wss://testnet-ws.orderly.org/ws Get test USDC: POST https://testnet-operator-evm.orderly.org/v1/faucet/usdc "Do I need to handle authentication manually?" The SDK handles authentication automatically. For API-only integration, load orderly-api-authentication for the complete auth flow.
