Binance MCP server

This MCP server implementation provides real-time Binance market data with WebSocket support for both spot and futures markets. It offers automatic reconnection, type-safe message handling, and comprehensive error handling capabilities.

Installation

To install the Binance MCP server, run:

npm install

Usage

Starting the Server

To start the MCP server, execute:

npm start

WebSocket Stream Types

The server supports several stream types for market data:

• trade: Real-time trade data
• ticker: 24-hour rolling window price change statistics
• bookTicker: Best bid/ask price and quantity
• kline: Candlestick data
• markPrice: Mark price and funding rate (futures only)
• fundingRate: Funding rate data (futures only)

Client Integration

Here's an example of how to integrate with the MCP server in Claude Desktop:

// Subscribe to trade and ticker streams for BTC/USDT
await server.subscribe('BTCUSDT', 'spot', ['trade', 'ticker']);

// Handle incoming data
server.onStreamData('BTCUSDT', 'trade', (data) => {
  console.log('New trade:', data);
});

Subscription Options

When subscribing to data streams, you'll need to specify:

1. The trading pair (e.g., 'BTCUSDT')
2. The market type ('spot' or 'futures')
3. An array of stream types you want to subscribe to

Data Handling

Use the onStreamData method to set up handlers that process the incoming data from your subscribed streams. Your handler function will receive the data payload whenever new information arrives from Binance.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "binance" '{"command":"npx","args":["binance-mcp-server"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "binance": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "binance-mcp-server"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
