How to Set Up and Use MCPX Tools
MCPX Tools is a C-based toolkit for analyzing and working with the original Xbox MCPX (Media Communications Processor X) boot ROM. It provides a disassembly script that annotates the MCPX ROM using objdump, and a compiled tool (mcpx-attack) that demonstrates the RC4 attack on MCPX 1.0 and the TEA attack on MCPX 1.1 — both documented Xbox security exploits. Researchers, security enthusiasts, and Xbox homebrew developers studying the original Xbox boot process and its cryptographic vulnerabilities will find these tools useful.
Prerequisites
- Linux or macOS environment (or WSL on Windows) with GCC and CMake installed
- objdump available on your PATH (typically part of the binutils package)
- An original Xbox MCPX ROM dump file (MCPX 1.0 or MCPX 1.1)
- Git to clone the repository
Clone the repository
Clone the mcpx-tools repository from XboxDev on GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/XboxDev/mcpx-tools.git
cd mcpx-toolsBuild the mcpx-attack tool
Create a build directory, run CMake to configure the build, and compile the mcpx-attack tool using Make.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
makeDisassemble the MCPX ROM
Run the disassemble-mcpx.sh script with the path to your MCPX ROM file. The script uses objdump to produce an annotated disassembly.
cd mcpx-tools
bash disassemble-mcpx.sh /path/to/mcpx.binRun the mcpx-attack tool
Execute the compiled mcpx-attack binary with your MCPX ROM to display the applicable exploit information — RC4 attack for MCPX 1.0, TEA attack for MCPX 1.1. Run without arguments to see usage.
cd build
./mcpx-attack /path/to/mcpx.binMCPX Tools Examples
Client configuration
Since MCPX Tools is a C command-line toolkit (not a networked MCP server in the Model Context Protocol sense), it is invoked directly from the shell. An MCP client can wrap it as a local process tool if needed.

Shell commands and research tasks when working with MCPX Tools for Xbox ROM analysis.
- Run: bash disassemble-mcpx.sh mcpx_1_0.bin > mcpx_disasm.txt
- Run: ./mcpx-attack mcpx_1_0.bin (shows RC4 attack details for 1.0)
- Run: ./mcpx-attack mcpx_1_1.bin (shows TEA attack details for 1.1)
- "Explain the RC4 attack vector documented in the MCPX 1.0 ROM"
- "Compare the differences between MCPX 1.0 and 1.1 boot security"Troubleshooting MCPX Tools
cmake .. fails with 'No C compiler found'
Install GCC or Clang: on Ubuntu/Debian run 'sudo apt install build-essential cmake', on macOS run 'xcode-select --install' and 'brew install cmake'.
disassemble-mcpx.sh fails with 'objdump: command not found'
Install binutils: on Ubuntu/Debian run 'sudo apt install binutils', on macOS run 'brew install binutils' and ensure the brew-installed objdump is on your PATH.
mcpx-attack shows no output or wrong exploit for the ROM version
MCPX 1.0 uses the RC4 attack and MCPX 1.1 uses the TEA attack. Ensure you have the correct ROM version. The tool auto-detects the version from the ROM, so if output is unexpected, verify your ROM dump is authentic and not truncated.
