Features
MCP Server + Ghidra Plugin
- Decompile and analyze binaries in Ghidra
- Automatically rename methods and data
- List methods, classes, imports, and exports
Installation
Prerequisites
Ghidra
First, download the latest release from this repository. This contains the Ghidra plugin and Python MCP client. Then, you can directly import the plugin into Ghidra.
- Run Ghidra
- Select
File
->Install Extensions
- Click the
+
button - Select the
GhidraMCP-1-1.zip
(or your chosen version) from the downloaded release - Restart Ghidra
- Make sure the GhidraMCPPlugin is enabled in

MCP Clients
Theoretically, any MCP client should work with ghidraMCP. Two examples are given below.
Example 1: Claude Desktop
To set up Claude Desktop as a Ghidra MCP client, go to Claude
-> Settings
-> Developer
-> Edit Config
-> claude_desktop_config.json
and add the following:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ghidra": {
"command": "python",
"args": [
"/ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO/bridge_mcp_ghidra.py",
"http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
]
}
}
}
Alternatively, edit this file directly:
/Users/YOUR_USER/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
The server IP and port are configurable and should be set to point to the target Ghidra instance. If not set, both will default to localhost:8080.
Example 2: 5ire
Another MCP client that supports multiple models on the backend is 5ire. To set up GhidraMCP, open 5ire and go to Tools
-> New
and set the following configurations:
- Tool Key: ghidra
- Name: GhidraMCP
- Command:
python /ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO/bridge_mcp_ghidra.py
Building from Source
Build with Maven by running:
mvn clean package assembly:single
The generated zip file includes the built Ghidra plugin and its resources. These files are required for Ghidra to recognize the new extension.
- lib/GhidraMCP.jar
- extensions.properties
- Module.manifest
