# Features
MCP Server + Ghidra Plugin

- Decompile and analyze binaries in Ghidra
- Automatically rename methods and data
- List methods, classes, imports, and exports

# Installation

## Prerequisites
- Install [Ghidra](https://ghidra-sre.org) 12.1.4
- Install [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (or Python 3.10+ with `pip install git+https://github.com/LaurieWired/GhidraMCP`, then use `ghidra-mcp` as the command below)

## Ghidra
First, download the latest [release](https://github.com/LaurieWired/GhidraMCP/releases) 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 `ghidra_12.1.4_PUBLIC_<date>_GhidraMCP.zip` 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. Most clients accept a JSON config like the following:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghidra": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/LaurieWired/GhidraMCP",
        "ghidra-mcp",
        "--ghidra-server",
        "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

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.

For clients that connect to a URL instead of launching a command, first run the MCP server yourself:

```
uvx --from git+https://github
