Binance Trading Agent MCP Server

by Axmetov999

Binance Trading Agent (MCP)

A safety-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects any LLM client (Claude, Cursor, custom agents) to the Binance Spot API — with a hard focus on guardrails, testnet-first development, and auditable order flow.
