# Client Integrations

### Local clients

Use `stdio` when the client can launch a local process on the same machine.

Typical local clients:

* Claude Desktop
* Claude Code
* Cursor
* Windsurf
* Continue
* Zed
* Cline
* other local MCP clients

Recommended local config entry:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-signer": {
      "command": "NODE_BINARY_PATH",
      "args": ["SIGNER_ENTRYPOINT_PATH"],
      "env": {
        "LOCAL_SIGNER_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY": "YOUR_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY",
        "LOCAL_SIGNER_EVM_RPC_URL": "YOUR_RPC_URL"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

If the client can launch `docker`, use a container wrapper instead of a direct binary path:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-signer": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "--env-file",
        "LOCAL_SIGNER_ENV_FILE",
        "allbridge/local-signer-mcp:latest",
        "node",
        "dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}
```

This keeps the command line short and moves the signer variables into a host-side env file.

### Remote connectors

Use `streamable-http` only when the client requires a URL.

If the client insists on `https://`, place TLS in front of the signer or expose the signer through a trusted proxy.

Recommended remote config entry:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-signer": {
      "url": "https://your-signer.example.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Desktop

Open `Settings` -> `Developer` -> `Local MCP servers` -> `Edit Config`. Add `local-signer` as another entry in `mcpServers`; do not overwrite existing servers.

### What to remember

* add `local-signer` as one more entry in the registry
* do not replace the rest of the config file
* keep secret values outside the command line
