      "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

🔒 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
