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.

  1. Run Ghidra
  2. Select File -> Install Extensions
  3. Click the + button
  4. Select the GhidraMCP-1-1.zip (or your chosen version) from the downloaded release
  5. Restart Ghidra
  6. Make sure the GhidraMCPPlugin is enabled in File -> Configure -> Developer
  7. Optional: Configure the port in Ghidra with Edit -> Tool Options -> GhidraMCP HTTP Server

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:

  1. Tool Key: ghidra
  2. Name: GhidraMCP
  3. 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
