What is the Binance MCP server?

If you want an AI assistant working directly with Binance, the binance mcp server is the bridge. MCP server for Binance market data and trading integration.

What Binance does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Claude Code with Binance exchange API functionality.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 3 tools directly:

  • Installation — The Installation tool exposed by this server
  • Configuration — This MCP server can be used with various AI tools that support MCP:
  • Account — The Account tool exposed by this server

Installing the binance mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as binance-mcp-server, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 5 environment variables: BINANCE_API_KEY, BINANCE_API_SECRET, BINANCE_TESTNET, YOUR_API_KEY, YOUR_API_SECRET. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Binance sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Installation, Configuration, Account — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • Maintained by ethancod1ng, written in TypeScript.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the binance mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
