#### Claude Code Configuration

**For Testnet (Recommended - Safe for testing):**
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bybit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["bybit-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "BYBIT_API_KEY": "your_testnet_api_key",
        "BYBIT_API_SECRET": "your_testnet_api_secret",
        "BYBIT_ENVIRONMENT": "testnet"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**For Mainnet (⚠️ WARNING: Uses real funds):**
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bybit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["bybit-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "BYBIT_API_KEY": "your_mainnet_api_key",
        "BYBIT_API_SECRET": "your_mainnet_api_secret",
        "BYBIT_ENVIRONMENT": "mainnet"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Cursor Configuration

Use the same configuration as Claude Code above, but add to `.cursor/mcp_config.json` with `mcp.servers` instead of `mcpServers`.

### Environment Setup

**Option 1: Testnet (Recommended)**
```env
BYBIT_API_KEY=your_testnet_api_key_here
BYBIT_API_SECRET=your_testnet_api_secret_here
BYBIT_ENVIRONMENT=testnet
DEBUG=false
```

**Option 2: Mainnet (⚠️ Real funds)**
```env
BYBIT_API_KEY=your_mainnet_api_key_here
BYBIT_API_SECRET=your_mainnet_api_secret_here
BYBIT_ENVIRONMENT=mainnet
DEBUG=false
```

### Getting API Keys

**For Testnet:**
1. Visit [Bybit Testnet](https://testnet.bybit.com/)
2. Register an account
3. Go to API Management and create API keys
4. Enable required permissions (read, trade)

**For Mainnet:**
1. Visit [Bybit](https://www.bybit.com/)
2. Complete account verification
3. Go to API Management and create API keys
4. Enable required permissions (read, trade)
5. Set IP restrictions for additional security

## Security

⚠️ **Important Security Notes**:
- **TESTNET** is the default and recommended environment for safety
- **MAINNET** operations use real funds - use with extreme caution
- API keys are automatically redacted from error messages
- Always test thoroughly on testnet before using mainnet
- Trading operations will display warnings when using mainnet

🔐 **API Key Safety**:
- Never commit API keys to version control
- Use environment variables for credentials
- Regularly rotate your API keys
- Use IP restrictions in Bybit API settings
