@cryptoapis-io/mcp-signer
MCP server for local transaction signing across EVM, UTXO, Tron, and XRP blockchains. No Crypto APIs HTTP calls — signing happens entirely on your machine. No API key required.
Security
- Stdio only — no HTTP transport. The server does not listen on any port.
- Private keys in tool input — each tool receives
privateKey/privateKeys/secretas parameters. Keys are never read from environment variables. - No network calls — all signing is done locally using cryptographic libraries.
Installation
npm install @cryptoapis-io/mcp-signer
Or install all Crypto APIs MCP servers: npm install @cryptoapis-io/mcp
