How to Set Up and Use ghidraMCP

ghidraMCP enables AI assistants to autonomously reverse engineer applications by exposing Ghidra's decompilation and analysis tools. Analyze binaries, list code structures, and rename methods directly through the MCP interface for sophisticated security analysis.

Prerequisites

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 11+ installed
Ghidra installed and configured
An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
Binary files to analyze

Clone ghidraMCP repository

Get the ghidraMCP source code that integrates Ghidra with MCP.

git clone https://github.com/LaurieWired/GhidraMCP
cd GhidraMCP
java -version

Build ghidraMCP

Compile the Ghidra MCP integration server.

gradle build

Verify Ghidra installation

Ensure Ghidra is properly installed and accessible from the system PATH.

Configure for binary analysis

Set up paths and options for the binaries you want to analyze.

Add to MCP client config

Test reverse engineering

Ask Claude to analyze a binary and extract information about its structure and functions.

ghidraMCP Examples

MCP client configuration

Configure ghidraMCP for binary reverse engineering.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghidra": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": ["-jar", "/path/to/GhidraMCP/build/libs/ghidramcp.jar"],
      "env": {
        "GHIDRA_HOME": "/opt/ghidra"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Use these prompts to reverse engineer binaries with ghidraMCP.

"Analyze this binary and list all exported functions"
"Decompile the main function from this executable and explain the logic"
"Find and explain all security-relevant code patterns in this binary"
"Rename functions in this binary based on their decompiled code behavior"

Troubleshooting ghidraMCP

Gradle build fails

Verify Java 11+ is installed with java --version. Check that Gradle is installed. Run gradle clean build to remove cached build artifacts and rebuild.

Ghidra not found or initialization fails

Verify Ghidra is installed and GHIDRA_HOME points to correct directory. Test Ghidra separately to ensure it works. Check that Java version compatibility between Ghidra and ghidraMCP.

Binary analysis times out or fails

Larger binaries take longer to analyze. Increase timeout settings if available. Try analyzing smaller binaries first. Check system resources (disk space, memory) are available.
