re-patch
MCP server for on-disk patching of binary artifacts with SHA-256 manifest, byte-level patch application, and manifest-driven restore, ensuring auditability and reversibility.
README
re-patch
MCP server for on-disk patching of binary artifacts. Provides:
- SHA-256 manifest of a binary (so the original can be verified / restored)
- Byte-level patch application: copy a file, write
new_bytesatoffset, save the result - Manifest-driven restore: read the manifest, copy the original back
The server does not enforce policy — it surfaces an audit log
(confirm_legal parameter) so the calling agent records the
justification for every patch. The user / run policy is the
caller's responsibility.
Why
The 2026-06-05 stress test surfaced a need for an on-disk patch primitive that's:
- Auditable — every call carries a
confirm_legaltext the analyst must type in - Reversible — the SHA-256 manifest + restore_original tool let the analyst roll back to the exact original bytes
- Non-destructive —
apply_patchwrites a copy atdst, not in place; the original atsrcis never modified
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
check_patch |
Health check — re-patch has no system dependencies; always status: OK |
sha256_manifest |
Return the SHA-256 of path (hex-encoded) |
apply_patch |
Copy src to dst, write new_bytes_b64 at offset in dst |
restore_original |
Copy original (whose SHA-256 matches the manifest) to restore_target |
Install
Part of the RE-AI plugin; ./install.sh installs the package. To
install standalone:
pip install -e ./servers/re-patch
Run
re-patch # stdio transport (default for MCP)
python -m re_patch # equivalent
