Binance

You run a Binance MCP Server to let AI assistants perform trading, market data access, and account management on Binance through a standardized MCP interface. It acts as a bridge between AI clients and your Binance account, enabling you to check prices, view balances, and place trades securely through an automated workflow.

How to use

Set up your MCP client to connect to the Binance server you run locally or remotely. You will configure your MCP client to reference the server under the name you provide (for example, binance). Once connected, you can request real-time prices, balances, and trading actions such as market or limit orders. The server handles authentication with your Binance account using your API credentials and executes actions on your behalf, returning results to your AI agent.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Python installed on your system to install the Binance MCP Server package.

python3 --version

pip install binance-mcp-server

Configuration and usage notes

Prepare your Binance API credentials and an optional testnet setting to safely develop and test.

# Required: Your Binance API credentials
export BINANCE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
export BINANCE_API_SECRET="your_api_secret_here"

# Optional: Use testnet for development and safe testing
export BINANCE_TESTNET="true"

Run the MCP server and integrate with your MCP client

Start the Binance MCP Server using the standard runtime command shown in the practical setup. The server accepts your API key, secret, and an optional testnet flag as command-line arguments.

binance-mcp-server \
  --api-key "your_api_key" \
  --api-secret "your_api_secret" \
  --binance-testnet

Configure your MCP client to use the server

Add a configuration entry for the Binance MCP Server in your MCP client settings. The example below shows naming the server binance and pointing to the local server executable with your credentials embedded.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binance": {
      "command": "binance-mcp-server",
      "args": [
        "--api-key", "your_api_key",
        "--api-secret", "your_api_secret",
        "--binance-testnet"
      ]
    }
  }
}
