To add chapter marks to a pre-existing Mobi file with a decent HTML table of contents already inside it, I'd say

unpack using the Mobiunpack script
copy-paste the TOC section and then
regexp or otherwise search/replace the HTML bits surrounding the chapter titles and anchor links to create an NCX
fill in the PlayOrder and other necessary pieces
regenerate the Mobi, linking your new NCX

It's not exactly easy, but it takes marginally fewer steps than the Calibre to Sigil to Calibre/KindleGen round-trip.
