IDA Pro MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Query and decompile functions, inspect pseudocode, add comments, and rename functions or local/global variables directly inside an IDB.

• 2

  Enumerate and search IDA database artifacts (functions, strings, imports, globals, and structures) and programmatically adjust types and prototypes.

• 3

  Perform dynamic debugging tasks (set/clear breakpoints, step, read registers and call stack) using the available unsafe debugger operations when enabled.

Description

This repository provides an MCP server and IDA plugin that lets LLM-based clients (Cline, Claude, Roo Code, etc.) interact programmatically with an open IDA database. It exposes many IDA operations (decompilation, disassembly, renaming, type changes, reading memory, structure analysis, listing functions/strings/imports) and includes optional unsafe debugger controls (breakpoints, registers, stepping). Installation is automated via pip/uv and the plugin; it also supports SSE transport and a headless mode with idalib. The server is easy to extend — new MCP methods can be added by annotating functions in the plugin.
