Environment Setup
Obtaining thy API Keys

- Venture forth to Binance Testnet
- Create a testnet account (no true verification be required)
- Journey to API Management in thy testnet account
- Forge a new API key with trading permissions most fitting
- Note: Testnet doth employ virtual funds - completely safe for thy testing endeavors
For Mainnet (Production, Most Perilous):
- Create a verified account upon Binance
- Complete KYC verification, as the law doth require
- Journey to API Management in thy account settings
- Forge a new API key with required permissions
- ⚠️ Warning Most Dire: Mainnet doth employ REAL coin - exercise utmost care!
Configuration
Create thy .env file thusly:
BINANCE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
BINANCE_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here
BINANCE_TESTNET=true # Set to false for mainnet (REAL coin, most perilous!)

Risk Management & Safety
🛡️ Intelligent Risk Assessment
This MCP server employeth a sophisticated risk assessment system to protect thy funds:
Risk Levels:
- LOW: Read-only operations, market data queries
- MEDIUM: Defensive orders (stop-loss, take-profit), account modifications
- HIGH: New positions, large orders (>50% account balance), high leverage (>10x)
- CRITICAL: Extreme leverage (>20x), massive orders (>80% account balance)
Automatic Protections:
- Defensive orders (stop-loss, take-profit) = MEDIUM risk, no confirmation needed
- Opening/increasing positions = HIGH risk, requires
confirmRisk: true - High leverage (>10x) = Requires explicit confirmation
- Large orders (>50% of account) = Requires explicit confirmation
- All responses include
networkModeindicator (mainnet/testnet)
⚙️ Safety Configuration
Configure thy safety settings in .env:
# Safety Configuration
ALLOW_MAINNET_TRADING=true # Set to false to restrict all trading to testnet
MAX_ORDER_SIZE_PCT=80 # Maximum order size as % of account balance
REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION_ABOVE=50 # Require confirmRisk: true for orders above this %
ENABLE_RISK_WARNINGS=true # Display risk warnings for all operations
🔒 Security Best Practices
⚠️ Of Utmost Importance:
- Start with
BINANCE_TESTNET=truefor safe testing with virtual funds - All mainnet trading tools display warnings and require confirmation for high-risk actions
- Defensive orders (stops, take-profits) work seamlessly to protect thy positions
- Set
confirmRisk: trueparameter for high-risk operations - Use IP whitelisting on thy Binance API keys for additional security
- Never share thy API keys or commit them to version control
