Reverse Engineering Assistant Overview
The reverse-engineering-assistant MCP server, also called ReVa, connects AI clients to Ghidra for tool-driven binary and firmware analysis. It exposes focused operations with surrounding context such as namespaces and cross-references, helping models work through long investigations while limiting unnecessary context. Use assistant mode for interactive work in an open Ghidra project, or headless mode for automation, CI/CD, Docker, and PyGhidra workflows. ReVa communicates through streamable HTTP in assistant mode and can be combined with other MCP servers for tasks such as source-code or web research.
Primary Use Cases for Reverse Engineering Assistant:
- Analyze a binary and explain its main components
- Trace encryption usage and produce a technical report
- Compare two binaries and summarize their differences
- Automate firmware analysis in a CI/CD pipeline
