mcp-server-idapro

Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants to interact with IDA Pro, a popular disassembler and debugger used for reverse engineering. It provides three main components: an IDA Pro plugin that creates an HTTP server, a TypeScript client for communication, and the MCP server itself that exposes IDA functionality to AI assistants. The server allows AI systems to execute Python scripts in IDA Pro, retrieve binary information, and perform advanced analysis tasks like searching for values, strings, and byte sequences.

FAQ

Is IDA Pro required to use this MCP server?

Yes, this MCP server is specifically designed to work with IDA Pro 8.3 or later.

Can the IDA Pro Remote Control Plugin be accessed remotely?

By default, it only listens on localhost (127.0.0.1) for security. Remote access can be enabled by modifying the DEFAULT_HOST variable in ida_remote_server.py, but this is not recommended due to security implications.
