IDA Pro MCP

Deterministic, local-first MCP server for IDA Pro and IDA Home with 109 strict-schema reverse-engineering operations, policy-gated mutations, and evidence tracking.

Quick Install

Automated & IDE Setup

Copy the AI prompt to install this server into Claude Code, Cursor, or another agent — or use 1-click editor setup below.

One-click editor setup isn’t available for this listing yet — we don’t have a confirmed install command, and we’d rather show nothing than point your editor at the wrong package or host. Follow the project’s own setup instructions, linked above.

Manual Client & Custom JSON ConfigExpand JSON ▾

No confirmed setup config for this listing yet. We only publish a config block when the install details come from the project itself — its README, its docs, or a verified owner. We haven’t found those for IDA Pro MCP, and we’d rather show nothing than a guess you’d paste into your client. Follow the project’s own setup instructions for the current steps.

Documentation Overview

🔬 IDA Pro MCP Server
_{Standalone Model Context Protocol for IDA Pro}

AI-powered reverse engineering without launching IDA Pro GUI.
40 comprehensive tools for binary analysis, decompilation, and annotation.
Multi-session support - multiple LLMs can analyze the same binary simultaneously.
Works with Claude, Gemini, Cursor, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible client.

⚡ Quick Start

1. Install for Google Antigravity / IDE Integration

bash

cd ida-pro-mcp
python install_antigravity.py

This adds the MCP server to your IDE's mcp_config.json. Restart your IDE.

2. Or Add Manually to MCP Config

config.json

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "ida-pro-mcp": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "python",
            "args": ["C:/path/to/ida-pro-mcp/ida_mcp_stdio.py"],
            "env": {
                "IDADIR": "C:/Program Files/IDA Professional 9.2"
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Use It

python

# Get IDB metadata
idb(idb="C:/samples/malware.exe.i64", action="meta")

# List all functions
data(idb="C:/samples/malware.exe.i64", action="functions", count=50)

# Decompile a function
code(idb="C:/samples/malware.exe.i64", action="decompile", addrs="0x401000")

# Search for patterns
search(idb="C:/samples/malware.exe.i64", action="bytes", pattern="48 83 EC ?? 48 8B")
