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
Python3
MCP SDK

Ghidra

First, download the latest release from this repository. This contains the Ghidra plugin and Python MCP client. Then, you can directly import the plugin into Ghidra.

Run Ghidra
Select File -> Install Extensions
Click the + button
Select the GhidraMCP-1-2.zip (or your chosen version) from the downloaded release
Restart Ghidra
Make sure the GhidraMCPPlugin is enabled in File -> Configure -> Developer
Optional: Configure the port in Ghidra with Edit -> Tool Options -> GhidraMCP HTTP Server

MCP Clients

Theoretically, any MCP client should work with ghidraMCP. Three examples are given below.

Example 1: Claude Desktop

To set up Claude Desktop as a Ghidra MCP client, go to Claude -> Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config -> claude_desktop_config.json and add the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghidra": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "/ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO/bridge_mcp_ghidra.py",
        "--ghidra-server",
        "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, edit this file directly:

/Users/YOUR_USER/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

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.

Example 2: Cline

To use GhidraMCP with Cline, this requires manually running the MCP server as well. First run the following command:

python bridge_mcp_ghidra.py --transport sse --mcp-host 127.0.0.1 --mcp-port 8081 --ghidra-server http://127.0.0.1:8080/

The only required argument is the transport. If all other arguments are unspecified, they will default to the above. Once the MCP server is running, open up Cline and select MCP Servers at the top.

Then select Remote Servers and add the following, ensuring that the url matches the MCP host and port:

Server Name: GhidraMCP
Server URL: http://127.0.0.1:8081/sse

Example 3: 5ire

Another MCP client that supports multiple models on the backend is 5ire. To set up GhidraMCP, open 5ire and go to Tools -> New and set the following co
