What is the Binance MCP server?

Connect Binance to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Hardened MCP server for Binance market data, account management, and trading — forked from ethancod1ng/binance-mcp-server with critical fixes and expanded tool set. The binance mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

Add to your MCP client configuration (Claude Desktop, Hermes, Cursor, etc.):

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • get_price — Current price for a trading pair
  • get_orderbook — Order book depth data
  • get_klines — K-line/candlestick history
  • get_24hr_ticker — 24-hour price change statistics
  • get_exchange_info — Exchange trading rules and symbol filters
  • get_server_time — Binance server time for clock sync diagnostics
  • get_avg_price — 5-minute average price
  • get_account_info — Account info with filtered balances
  • get_asset_balance — Balance for a specific asset
  • get_open_orders — Current open orders (all or by pair)
  • get_order_history — Historical orders for a pair
  • get_account_trades — Executed trade history

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @daniyal0100101/binance-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: BINANCE_API_KEY, BINANCE_API_SECRET, BINANCE_TESTNET. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Binance's toolset — get_price, get_orderbook, get_klines and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by daniyal0100101; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Binance's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Binance.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Binance to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (get_price, get_orderbook, get_klines, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Binance directly.
