## Description
Non-custodial EVM wallet MCP — routes transactions to browser wallets (MetaMask, etc.) for signing. Private keys never leave the browser; every action requires explicit user approval via EIP-6963.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **connect_wallet** — Connect wallet, return address
- **send_transaction** — Send ETH/tokens, call contracts
- **sign_message** — Sign arbitrary message (personal_sign)
- **sign_typed_data** — Sign EIP-712 typed data
- **get_balance** — Read ETH balance (via RPC)
- **get_token_balance** — Read ERC-20 balance (`balanceOf`/`decimals`/`symbol`)
- **tron_connect_wallet** — Connect TronLink, return Base58 (T…) address
- **tron_send_transaction** — Native TRX transfer
- **tron_trigger_contract** — TRC-20 / smart-contract call via `triggerSmartContract
- **tron_sign_message** — Sign arbitrary message (`signMessageV2`)
- **tron_sign_typed_data** — Sign TIP-712 typed data
- **tron_get_balance** — Read TRX balance (via TronGrid)
- **tron_get_token_balance** — Read TRC-20 balance (`balanceOf`/`decimals`/`symbol`)

> [!WARNING]
> **Superseded by [browser-web3-signer](https://github.com/nikicat/browser-web3-signer)** — the same browser-wallet signing flow, reimplemented in Rust with a CLI plus Rust/TypeScript/Go libraries. mcp-wallet-signer still works, but new development happens there.

**Your private keys never leave your browser.** Every transaction requires explicit user approval in your wallet.

Most blockchain MCPs require you to paste a private key into a config file — giving the AI agent full, unsupervised access to your
funds. MCP Wallet Signer takes a different approach: it routes every transaction to your actual browser wallet — EVM wallets
(MetaMask, Rabby, …) via [EIP-6963](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6963), and TRON via TronLink — so you review and approve
each action just like any other dapp interaction. No keys in config files, no risk of silent transactions.

## Installation

### Claude Code CLI

```bash
claude mcp add wallet-signer -- npx -y mcp-wallet-signer
```

(The name `wallet-signer` is just the MCP server identifier — pick anything you like. Legacy `evm-wallet` still works for users who installed before TRON support landed.)

### Claude Desktop

Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wallet-signer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-wallet-signer"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Run directly

```bash
npx -y mcp-wallet-signer
pnpx mcp-wallet-signer
bunx mcp-wallet-signer
```

## How It Works

1. Agent calls an MCP tool (e.g., `send_transaction` or `tron_send_transaction`)
2. Server opens browser to a local signing page (EVM and TRON each run their own HTTP bridge on a separate port)
3. User connects wallet and approves the action — in MetaMask/Rabby/etc. for EVM, in TronLink for TRON
4. Result (address, tx hash, signature) returned to agent

Screenshots below show the EVM approval UI; the TRON UI mirrors the same card layout with TronLink-specific copy and TRX denomination.

## Packages

This is a monorepo with three published packages plus one internal one:

| Package | Published | Description |
| ------- | --------- | ----------- |
| [`wallet-signer-core`](https://github.com/nikicat/mcp-wallet-signer/blob/HEAD/packages/wallet-signer-core) | internal | Chain-agnostic primitives (PendingStore, HTTP bridge, errors). Bundled into each chain package at build time — never installed directly. |
| [`browser-evm-signer`](https://github.com/nikicat/mcp-wallet-signer/blob/HEAD/packages/browser-evm-signer) | npm + JSR | Standalone library — sign EVM transactions via MetaMask/Rabby/any EIP-6963 wallet |
| [`browser-tron-signer`](https://github.com/nikicat/mcp-wallet-signer/blob/HEAD/packages/browser-tron-signer) | npm + JSR | Standalone library — sign TRON transactions via TronLink |
| [`mcp-wallet-signer`](https://github.com/nikicat/mcp-wallet-signer/blob/HEAD/packages/mcp-wallet-signer) | npm | MCP server — exposes the EVM and TRON signers as MCP tools for AI agents |

Use the chain-specific packages directly if you want browser-based signing in your own Node.js/Deno app without MCP.

## Development

Requires [Deno](https://deno.land/) v2.0+.

```bash
# Install all dependencies
deno task install:all

# Type check + lint + format check (all packages)
deno task check:all

# Run tests
deno task test:all

# Build all npm packages
deno task build:all

# Format code
deno task fmt
```

### Manual signing CLI

A `signer-cli` script triggers the same flows that the MCP tools do, but from your shell —
useful for smoke-testing against a real wallet without going through an MCP client.

```bash
# Discover subcommands
deno task cli                                 # top-level help
deno task cli evm help                        # EVM subcommands
deno task cli tron help                       # TRON subcommands
deno task cli evm send-transaction --help     # subcommand flags

# Examples (each opens a browser; sign in MetaMask / TronLink)
deno task cli evm  connect --chain 1
deno task cli evm  send-transaction --to 0x... --value 1000000000000000000
deno task cli evm  sign-message --message "hello"
deno task cli tron connect --network mainnet
deno task cli tron send-trx --to T... --amount 1000000
deno task cli tron trigger-contract --contract T... \
    --selector 'transfer(address,uint256)' \
    --params '[{"type":"address","value":"T..."},{"type":"uint256","value":"1000000"}]'
deno task cli tron get-balance --address T...   # no browser
```

The approval URL is always printed up-front, and **every browser-interacting subcommand** (both chains, every flow except `get-balance` which doesn't open a browser) accepts `--browser <name>` and `--print`:

```bash
# Pick a specific browser (the one that has TronLink / MetaMask installed)
deno task cli evm  connect --browser firefox
deno task cli evm  sign-message --message "hi" --browser chrome
deno task cli tron send-trx --to T... --amount 1000000 --browser edge
deno task cli tron trigger-contract --contract T... --selector 'transfer(address,uint256)' \
    --params '[...]' --browser /usr/bin/brave-browser

# Print the URL only — don't auto-open anything. Open it manually wherever you like
deno task cli evm  send-transaction --to 0x... --value 1000 --print
deno task cli evm  sign-typed-data --json typed.json --print
deno task cli tron connect --network shasta --print
deno task cli tron sign-message --message "hello" --print
```

`--browser <name>` accepts `chrome`, `firefox`, `edge`, `safari`, or a binary path. Useful when your system default doesn't have the wallet extension installed.

Per-package `deno task trigger ...` works too if you're already inside `packages/browser-evm-signer/` or `packages/browser-tron-signer/`.

A Deno [workspace](https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/workspaces/) declaration at the root makes each member's import map visible to root-level scripts (notably `tools/signer-cli.ts` resolving `wallet-signer-core`).

All packages are built with [dnt](https://github.com/denoland/dnt) and use `node:` builtins (no Deno-specific APIs) so the npm bundles run under Node.js.
