## Description
Local structured analysis of deployed EVM runtime bytecode

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "evmole": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","evmole"]
  }
}
```

EVMole is a powerful library that extracts information from Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode, including [function selectors](https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/latest/abi-spec.html#function-selector), arguments, [state mutability](https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/latest/contracts.html#state-mutability), persistent and transient storage layouts, and CBOR metadata, even for unverified contracts.

## Key Features

- Multi-language support: Available as [JavaScript](#javascript), [Rust](#rust), [Python](#python), and [Go](#go) libraries.
- High accuracy and performance: [Outperforms](#benchmark) existing tools.
- Broad compatibility: Tested with both Solidity and Vyper compiled contracts.
- Lightweight: Clean codebase with minimal external dependencies.
- Unverified contract analysis: Extracts information even from unverified bytecode.
- Selector dispatch classification: Distinguishes normal ABI dispatch from selectors handled by fallback logic.
- CBOR metadata: Extracts string-keyed values from a terminal, length-suffixed CBOR map without assuming a particular compiler.


## Usage
### JavaScript
[API documentation](https://github.com/cdump/evmole/blob/HEAD/javascript/#api) and [usage examples](https://github.com/cdump/evmole/blob/HEAD/javascript/#usage) (Node.js, Vite, webpack, Parcel, esbuild)
```sh
npm i evmole
```
```javascript

### Foundry
<a href="https://getfoundry.sh/">Foundry's cast</a> uses the Rust implementation of EVMole
```sh

$ cast selectors $(cast code 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2)
0x06fdde03                           view
0x095ea7b3  address,uint256          nonpayable
0x18160ddd                           view
0x23b872dd  address,address,uint256  nonpayable
...

$ cast selectors --resolve $(cast code 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2)
0x06fdde03                           view        name()
0x095ea7b3  address,uint256          nonpayable  approve(address,uint256)
0x18160ddd                           view        totalSupply()
0x23b872dd  address,address,uint256  nonpayable  transferFrom(address,address,uint256)
...
```

### AI agents

For application code, use one of the language bindings above. For agent-driven
bytecode analysis, choose one integration.

#### JSON CLI

Use for one-off analysis and scripts:

```bash
npx -y evmole analyze --bytecode 0x...
```

#### Portable skill

Install routing and interpretation guidance for supported agents:

```bash
npx skills add cdump/evmole --skill evm-bytecode-analysis -g
```

#### Local MCP server

Expose EVMole as a typed local tool:

```bash
npx -y evmole-mcp
```

All integrations expect deployed/runtime bytecode and run locally without
sending bytecode to an EVMole-operated service. See the
[agent integration guide](https://github.com/cdump/evmole/blob/HEAD/agent/README.md) for setup, schemas,
limitations, and privacy details.

### function state mutability

<i>Errors</i> - Results are not equal (treating `view` and `pure` as equivalent to `nonpayable`)

<i>Errors strict</i> - Results are strictly unequal (`nonpayable` ≠ `view`). Some ABIs mark `pure`/`view` functions as `nonpayable`, so not all strict errors indicate real issues.

## How it works

EVMole uses symbolic execution with a custom EVM implementation to trace how CALLDATA flows through the bytecode:

This approach is more accurate than static pattern matching because it follows the actual execution paths the EVM would take, correctly handling complex dispatchers, proxy patterns, and compiler-specific optimizations from both Solidity and Vyper.
