Binance MCP Server
A comprehensive FastMCP server implementation providing datetime utilities and Binance API integration tools for cryptocurrency market operations.
Features
- 🕒 DateTime Tools: Get current date and time in ISO8601 format
- 📈 Binance API Integration: Direct connectivity to Binance cryptocurrency exchange
- 🔄 Connectivity Testing: Test Binance API connectivity and server time sync
- 🚀 FastMCP Framework: Built with FastMCP for efficient MCP server implementation
- ⚙️ Configuration Management: Environment-based configuration with dotenv support
- 📊 Observability: Logfire integration for monitoring and debugging
Installation
Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- Dependencies listed in
pyproject.toml
Setup
# Install dependencies using rye (recommended)
rye sync
# Or using uv
uv sync
Environment Configuration
Create a .env file in the project root:
# Server Configuration
PORT=8000
TRANSPORT=http
# Binance API Credentials (optional for basic tools)
BINANCE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
BINANCE_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here
# Observability (optional)
LOGFIRE_TOKEN=your_logfire_token_here
Note: API credentials are only required for authenticated Binance operations. Basic tools like datetime and connectivity testing work without credentials.
Usage
Running the Server
Standalone Mode
# Run the server directly
python -m binance_mcp.main
# Or use the installed script
mcp
# For development (from project root)
python -m src.binance_mcp.main
With MCP Client (e.g., Claude Desktop)
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"binance-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "binance_mcp.main"],
"cwd": "/path/to/binance-mcp",
"env": {
"BINANCE_API_KEY": "your_api_key",
"BINANCE_API_SECRET": "your_api_secret"
}
}
}
}

Testing
Test the server functionality:
# Test individual tools (requires server to be running)
# The FastMCP framework provides built-in testing capabilities
# Run the server in development mode
rye run mcp
# Or if the virtualenv is activated
mcp
# Or use ruff for code quality checks
rye run ruff check src/
