Details
From the project READMEBinance MCP Server π
A powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents to interact seamlessly with the Binance cryptocurrency exchange. This server provides a comprehensive suite of trading tools, market data access, and account management capabilities through the standardized MCP interface.
π What is this?
This tool acts as a bridge between AI Assistants (like Claude, Cursor AI, or ChatGPT) and your Binance Account.
Instead of manually navigating the Binance website or app, you can ask your AI to:
- "Check the current price of Bitcoin"
- "Show me my account balance"
- "Buy 0.1 ETH at the current market price"
The AI sends the request to this server, which securely executes it on Binance and returns the result to your AI.
π Quick Start
1οΈβ£ Installation
The easiest way to install is using pip or uv:
# using pip
pip install binance-mcp-server
# using uv
uv add binance-mcp-server
2οΈβ£ Configuration
You need your Binance API Keys to allow this tool to access your account.
- Log in to your Binance account and go to API Management.
- Create a new API Key.
- Set the keys as environment variables in your terminal:
# Required: Your Binance API credentials
export BINANCE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
export BINANCE_API_SECRET="your_api_secret_here"
# Recommended: Use testnet for development and safe testing
export BINANCE_TESTNET="true"
3οΈβ£ Running with your AI
Configure for Claude Desktop / VSCode / Cursor
Add the following to your MCP settings configuration file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json or mcp_config.json):
{

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
