📦 Installation

Option 1: PyPI Installation (Recommended)

Install the package from PyPI:

pip install binance_futures_mcp

Option 2: Docker Deployment

For containerized deployment:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/alexcandrabersiva/bin-mcp.git
cd binance-mcp-server

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t binance-mcp-server .

# Run with environment variables
docker run -e BINANCE_API_KEY="your_api_key" -e BINANCE_SECRET_KEY="your_secret_key" \
  binance-mcp-server --binance-api-key "$BINANCE_API_KEY" --binance-secret-key "$BINANCE_SECRET_KEY"

Docker Compose (Optional)

Create a docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.8'

  binance-mcp:
    build: .
    environment:
      - BINANCE_API_KEY=${BINANCE_API_KEY}

    ]

Then run:

docker-compose up

Development Installation

For development, you can install from source:

git clone https://github.com/bin-mcp/binance-mcp-server.git
cd binance-mcp-server
pip install -e ".[dev]"

⚙️ Configuration

API Requirements

Your Binance API key needs the following permissions:

  • Futures Trading: For order placement and management
  • Futures Reading: For account and market data access

MCP Client Setup

This server can be integrated with various MCP clients. Here are configuration examples:

VS Code

Add to your VS Code settings.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "binance": {
        "command": "uvx",
        "args": ["--from", "binance_futures_mcp", "binance-mcp-server.exe", "--binance-api-key", "your_api_key", "--binance-secret-key", "your_secret_key"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your Cursor configuration file (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "binance": {
      "command": "uvx", 
      "args": ["--from", "binance_futures_mcp", "binance-mcp-server.exe", "--binance-api-key", "your_api_key", "--binance-secret-key", "your_secret_key"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to your Windsurf configuration (.windsurf/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binance": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "binance_futures_mcp", "binance-mcp-server.exe", "--binance-api-key", "your_api_key", "--binance-secret-key", "your_secret_key"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binance": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "binance_futures_mcp", "binance-mcp-server.exe", "--binance-api-key", "your_api_key", "--binance-secret-key", "your_secret_key"]
    }
  }
}

Configuration Notes

  1. No path needed: With PyPI installation, you don't need to specify paths or working directories
  2. Set API credentials: Replace your_api_key and your_secret_key with your actual Binance API credentials
  3. Alternative commands: You can also use uvx binance_futures_mcp or python -m binance_mcp
  4. Security: For production use, consider storing credentials in environment variables

🔒 Security

API Key Security

🔐 Your Binance API key and secret remain completely local to your computer. The MCP server runs entirely on your machine; neither the package author nor any third-party remote service can access your credentials.

Key Security Points:

  • ✅ Store credentials in environment variables (recommended) or local config files
  • ✅ Keys are never transmitted unless you publish them
  • ❌ Never commit credentials to version control
  • ❌ Never share screenshots/logs containing credentials
  • ✅ Use API keys with minimal required permissions
  • ✅ IP-whitelist your keys when possible
  • ✅ Consider using Binance Testnet for development

How It Works:

  1. Local Launch: Your editor/terminal launches the MCP server locally:

    uvx binance_futures_mcp --binance-api-key $BINANCE_API_KEY --binance-secret-key $BINANCE_SECRET_KEY

  2. Keys Stay Local: Your credentials exist only:

    • In your environment variables or local config file
    • On your computer's command line/process table
    • In MCP process memory during HTTPS calls to Binance

  3. No Telemetry: The package contains zero telemetry or analytics code

Rate Limiting & Error Handling

  • ⚡ Respects Binance's weight-based rate limits
  • 🔄 Automatic order placement rate limiting
  • 🔐 Automatic HMAC SHA256 signature generation
  • 🛡️ Comprehensive error handling with clear messages
  • ✅ Parameter validation before API calls

📚 API Reference

This server implements all endpoints documented in the Binance Futures API:

  • Base URL: https://fapi.binance.com
  • API Type: Binance USD-S Margined Futures
  • Authentication: API Key + HMAC SHA256 Signature
  • Rate Limits: Respected automatically
