Sigil MCP Server

local only

Sigil runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 111 installs a week from npm. Last commit 13 Sep 2026.

Local keystore + MCP server. Claude can sign EVM transactions but never sees the private key.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Sigil every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Sigil — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Sigil?
Sigil runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package sigild was installed 111 times last week.
How do I connect Sigil?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls sigild straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Sigil?
The npm package sigild was installed 111 times in the last week. Week over week that is -39%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Sigil open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 3 stars on GitHub and 7 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
