🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ installed on your system
• Binance account with API access enabled
• API credentials (API Key & Secret) from your Binance account

1️⃣ Installation

# Install using uv (recommended for Python package management)
uv add binance-mcp-server

# Alternative: Install using pip
pip install binance-mcp-server

2️⃣ Configuration

Set up your Binance API credentials as environment variables:

# 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 testing
export BINANCE_TESTNET="true"

3️⃣ Launch Server

# Start the MCP server
binance_mcp_server --api-key $BINANCE_API_KEY --api-secret $BINANCE_API_SECRET --binance-testnet $BINANCE_TESTNET

4️⃣ Connect Your AI Agent

Configure your AI agent (Claude, GPT-4, or custom bot) to connect to the MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binance": {
      "command": "binance_mcp_server",
      "args": [
        "--api-key": "your_api_key",
        "--api-secret": "your_secret",
        "--binance-testnet": "false" # Set to true for testnet
