Claude Code by hand

Get a bInference keyCopy Anchor Link

On binference.io, sign in with your wallet and press Create key. Turn on Limit spending and set a daily limit: it caps what this agent can spend on AI, however long it runs.

Point Claude Code at bInferenceCopy Anchor Link

Add these to ~/.claude/settings.json, so every Claude Code session uses them:

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://binference.io/api",
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "binf_...",
    "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": ""
  }
}

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY stays empty so Claude Code never falls back to another key. To pick the model, add "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5". Any model on Models that handles tools well works. Claude Code explains the settings that keep each call's hold small.

Add the Binance MCP ServerCopy Anchor Link

In Terminal (PowerShell on Windows), run Binance's command exactly as written:

claude mcp add binance-mcp-server --transport http https://agent.binance.com/mcp/agentic

Then start Claude Code, open the /mcp menu, select binance-mcp-server and authenticate. Binance opens its own sign-in and asks which scopes to grant. Start with the fewest:

There is no withdrawal scope: the agent can never send funds out.

Check both connectionsCopy Anchor Link

Ask Claude Code:

Use the Binance MCP Server to show the current BTCUSDT price and 24-hour change.

The answer should show the Binance tool being used and live BTCUSDT data. That one question used both sides: the model ran on bInference, the price came from Binance. The call shows up on your Calls page within a minute.

Fund the Agentic sub-accountCopy Anchor Link

Your agent trades in its own sub-account, created the first time you authorize. It starts empty, and only you can fund it:

1. On binance.com, go to Profile → Dashboard → Sub-account → Asset Management.
2. Press Transfer and move assets from your main account to the Agentic sub-account. It's instant and free.

Put in only what you're willing to let the agent trade.
