This MCP server provides a bridge between AI assistants and your Binance account, exposing a comprehensive set of tools to read market data, manage your account, and perform trading operations through the MCP interface. After installing the server, you can interact with Binance via a standardized set of MCP tools such as get_balance, get_ticker_price, create_order, and get_pnl. For example, you can query real-time prices, check your balances, place market or limit orders, and monitor open positions or PnL. The server supports both market data access and trading operations, making it suitable for building autonomous agents or AI-assisted trading flows.

To use it, ensure your Binance API credentials are configured in the environment variables (BINANCE_API_KEY, BINANCE_API_SECRET) and, if desired, enable the testnet via BINANCE_TESTNET. Integrate the MCP server into your existing MCP configuration (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json or mcp_config.json) by adding the binance server with the appropriate command and arguments. You can then invoke the available tools through your AI agent or MCP client, such as requesting the current ticker price for a symbol, checking your balances, or creating an order.

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.10 or newer installed on your system
• pip for Python package installation
• Optional: uv (Universal Validator) package manager for Python-based MCP servers

Installation steps:

1. Install the Binance MCP Server package from PyPI: pip install binance-mcp-server

2. Install or enable UV for running MCP servers (if you plan to use uv as shown in the config): pip install uv # or follow your preferred uv installation method

3. Verify installation by running the server directly (example, adjust if you use uvx): uv add binance-mcp-server

   or if running via Python module

   python -m binance_mcp_server

4. Configure environment variables for Binance access (adjust as needed): export BINANCE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here" export BINANCE_API_SECRET="your_api_secret_here" export BINANCE_TESTNET="true" # optional: use testnet for development

5. Start the MCP server through your MCP manager (as defined in mcp_config).

Note: If you prefer running via a different launcher or container, adapt the commands accordingly to match the environment (e.g., docker, node-based runners, etc.).

Tips and common issues:

• Always test with Binance Testnet first to avoid real funds exposure.
• Ensure your API keys have the necessary permissions (read data, trade if you intend to place orders).
• If you encounter authentication errors, double-check that BINANCE_API_KEY and BINANCE_API_SECRET are correctly exported in the environment where the MCP server runs.
• When using testnet, confirm that the server is pointed to testnet endpoints if the library supports explicit testnet configuration.
• The server exposes a broad set of tools; consult the available tools list (get_balance, get_ticker_price, create_order, etc.) to choose the right operations for your automation.
• If the MCP server is not reachable, verify network access to Binance endpoints and ensure no firewalls are blocking outgoing connections.
