This MCP facilitates interaction between AI assistants and IDA Pro, supporting reverse engineering functions like script execution and binary data retrieval.
The IDAPRO MCP Server acts as a bridge between AI assistants and IDA Pro, a popular reverse engineering tool. It allows executing Python scripts within IDA, retrieving data such as strings, functions, and exports, and performing advanced binary analysis like searching for values or disassembly. The server exposes HTTP endpoints for remote control and automates IDA operations, making it easier to perform complex analyses programmatically and securely. It includes a plugin for IDA Pro, a TypeScript client, and a main server component, supporting multiple use cases in reverse engineering workflows.
