Jadx AI MCP Overview

The zinja-coder/jadx-ai-mcp MCP server connects a modified JADX-GUI build to LLM clients for interactive Android reverse engineering. It exposes the active decompiler project and selected code through MCP tools, including class, method, field, source, and smali queries. Use it when reviewing an APK in JADX and you want Claude to inspect code context without manually copying decompiled sources. The project is an early-stage developer beta and requires the JADX-AI plugin alongside its Python MCP server.
