@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 / secret as 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

Usage

npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-signer
