Adding MEXC Accounts
Connect your MEXC futures accounts to start trading.
Prerequisites
Before adding an account, you need:
- A MEXC account with Futures Trading enabled
- API credentials with futures trading permissions
- An active MEXC Manager subscription
Getting Your API Credentials
MEXC Manager uses API tokens to connect to your MEXC account. Here's how to get them:
- 1Log in to MEXC
Go to mexc.com and log in to your account.
- 2Navigate to API Management
Click on your profile icon → API Management (or go directly to the API page).
- 3Create a new API key
Click Create API and complete any required verification.
- 4Configure permissions
Enable the following permissions for the API key:
- Read - Required for fetching positions and balances
- Futures Trading - Required for placing orders
- 5Copy your credentials
After creation, copy the full API token. This is typically a long string that contains your authentication information.
Never enable Withdrawal permissions for API keys used with third-party services. MEXC Manager only needs trading permissions.

Account Fields Explained
Name
A descriptive name to identify this account. Use something memorable like "Main Trading", "Scalping Account", or "Client: John".
Token
The API authentication token from MEXC. This is typically a long string that includes your API key and other authentication data.
Proxy (Optional)
If you need to route this account's traffic through a specific proxy, select it here. Proxies can help with rate limiting and connection reliability. See Proxy Configuration.
Headers (Advanced)
Custom HTTP headers to include with API requests. Most users don't need this.
You can add as many accounts as your subscription allows. Each account can have its own proxy and settings.
Troubleshooting
Invalid Token Error
- Make sure you copied the entire token without any extra spaces
- Check that the API key hasn't expired
- Verify that futures trading permission is enabled
Connection Failed
- Check your internet connection
- If using a proxy, verify the proxy is working
- Try again in a few minutes - MEXC may have temporary issues
