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'
services:
binance-mcp:
build: .
environment:
- BINANCE_API_KEY=${BINANCE_API_KEY}
- BINANCE_SECRET_KEY=${BINANCE_SECRET_KEY}
command: [
"--binance-api-key", "${BINANCE_API_KEY}",
"--binance-secret-key", "${BINANCE_SECRET_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
- No path needed: With PyPI installation, you don't need to specify paths or working directories
- Set API credentials: Replace
your_api_keyandyour_secret_keywith your actual Binance API credentials - Alternative commands: You can also use
uvx binance_futures_mcporpython -m binance_mcp - 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:
-
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 -
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
-
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
