Project Installation

Add a .cursor/mcp.json file to your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binance": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "git+https://github.com/jianchundev/binance-mcp.git"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windows Alternative:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binance": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "https://github.com/jianchundev/binance-mcp.git"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Alternative MCP Configuration

Some MCP clients use a different configuration format:

{
  "key": "binance",
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "@snjyor/binance-mcp@latest"
  ],
  "approvalPolicy": "always"
}

Configuration Options

• key: Unique identifier for the MCP service

• command: Command to run the service

• args: Arguments passed to the command

• approvalPolicy:

  • "always" - Auto-approve all tool calls

  • "prompt" - Ask for approval before each tool call

  • "never" - Never auto-approve

• env: Environment variables (for proxy configuration)

Usage

After configuration, the Binance market data tools will be automatically available to Cursor AI agents:

1. The tool will be listed under Available Tools in the MCP settings

2. Agents will automatically use it when relevant

3. You can explicitly ask agents to use these tools

🚀 Quick Start with SOCKS5 Proxy (Copy & Paste)

For users who need proxy support, use this ready-to-use configuration:

{
  "key": "binance",
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "git+https://github.com/jianchundev/binance-mcp.git"
  ],
  "approvalPolicy": "always",
  "env": {
    "SOCKS_PROXY": "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080"
  }
}

Common SOCKS5 Proxy Ports:

• 1080 - Default SOCKS5 port

• 7890 - Common alternative (Clash, V2Ray)

• 1081 - Alternative port

• 10808 - Some proxy tools

To use a different port, simply change the port number:

"env": {
  "SOCKS_PROXY": "socks5://127.0.0.1:7890"
}

🔧 Troubleshooting

Windows npx Issues

If you encounter 'binance-mcp' is not recognized error on Windows:

1. Try alternative URL format:

   npx -y https://github.com/jianchundev/binance-mcp.git

2. Use local installation:

   git clone https://github.com/jianchundev/binance-mcp.git
   cd binance-mcp
   npm install
   npm run build

3. Update MCP configuration to use local path:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "binance": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\binance-mcp\\dist\\index.js"]
       }
     }
   }

Proxy Connection Issues

• Verify your SOCKS5 proxy is running on the specified port

• Check firewall settings

• Try different proxy ports (7890, 1081, 10808)

Proxy Configuration
