Binance MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Binance cryptocurrency exchange data to Large Language Model (LLM) agents. This server allows LLMs to access real-time and historical market data from Binance through a standardized interface.

Features

• Live Price Data: Get current prices for any trading pair on Binance

• Order Book Access: Retrieve order book snapshots showing buy/sell interest at different price levels

• Historical Price Data: Fetch OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) candlestick data for any timeframe

• Real-time WebSocket Streams: Subscribe to real-time trade, ticker, and order book updates via WebSockets

• Comprehensive Market Data: Access trades, 24hr statistics, aggregate trades, rolling window data, and more

• Exchange Information: Access trading rules, symbol information, and fee structures

• Read-only Operation: All data is fetched via Binance's public REST API (no API keys required)

• MCP Standard Compliant: Works with any MCP-compatible LLM client

Requirements

• Python 3.8+

• mcp package with CLI tools (mcp[cli])

• requests library for REST API

• websockets library for WebSocket streams

• uvicorn for serving (optional)

Implementation Status

For a detailed overview of the implemented and planned API endpoints, refer to the API Implementation Status document.

Extending the Server

Adding New Tools

To add new tools, create appropriate functions in the Binance API module and then register them as MCP tools in one of the command modules.

Supporting Private API Endpoints

To support authenticated API calls:

1. Modify binance_api.py to include authentication

2. Create additional command modules for trading operations

3. Register the new commands in server.py

Troubleshooting

• Connection Issues: Ensure the server is running before attempting to connect with a client

• Rate Limiting: Binance may rate-limit excessive API calls; consider implementing caching for high-traffic deployments

• WebSocket Stability: WebSocket connections may disconnect after 24 hours (Binance limit); the server will attempt to reconnect automatically

• Data Format: Different symbols or intervals may return data in slightly different formats
