MCP Client Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binance-futures": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-binance-futures/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "BINANCE_API_KEY": "your_api_key",
        "BINANCE_API_SECRET": "your_api_secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

With uv

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binance-futures": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--project", "/path/to/mcp-binance-futures", "mcp-binance-futures"],
      "env": {
        "BINANCE_API_KEY": "your_api_key",
        "BINANCE_API_SECRET": "your_api_secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

---

Testing

# install dev dependencies
uv sync --extra dev

# run all tests
pytest

# run with output
pytest -v

Tests use respx to mock all HTTP calls — no real API keys or network required.

Common Usage Patterns

Open a long position with stop loss and take profit

1. get_ticker(symbol="BTCUSDT")          → check current price
2. get_balance()                          → check available margin
3. get_positions(symbol="BTCUSDT")        → confirm no existing position
4. set_leverage(symbol="BTCUSDT", leverage=10)
5. set_margin_type(symbol="BTCUSDT", margin_type="ISOLATED")
6. place_order(symbol="BTCUSDT", side="BUY", order_type="MARKET", quantity=0.01)
7. place_order(symbol="BTCUSDT", side="SELL", order_type="STOP_MARKET",
               stop_price=45000, close_position=True)
8. place_order(symbol="BTCUSDT", side="SELL", order_type="TAKE_PROFIT_MARKET",
               stop_price=55000, close_position=True)

Modify a limit order

1. get_open_orders(symbol="BTCUSDT")      → find the order ID
2. modify_order(symbol="BTCUSDT", order_id=123456, side="BUY",
                quantity=0.01, price=48500)

Emergency close all

1. cancel_all_orders(symbol="BTCUSDT")
2. place_order(symbol="BTCUSDT", side="SELL", order_type="MARKET",
               quantity=<position_size>, reduce_only=True)

Architecture

server.py      — FastMCP server, all tool definitions
client.py      — Async HTTP client: signing, transport, error handling
tests/
  test_client.py  — Unit tests for BinanceClient (signing, HTTP, errors)
  test_server.py  — Integration tests for all MCP tools

The client and server are intentionally kept in separate files: client.py handles all Binance API mechanics (HMAC signing, error parsing, HTTP verbs) while server.py contains only tool logic and MCP wiring. This makes both independently testable.
