Headless IDA Pro MCP server for AI-powered reverse engineering.

Prerequisites

IDA Pro 9.4 with valid license

Getting Started

Install

macOS / Linux (via Homebrew)

brew install blacktop/tap/ida-mcp        # Latest (IDA 9.4)

macOS (Apple Silicon), older IDA releases (via versioned Homebrew casks)

brew install blacktop/tap/ida-mcp@9.3    # IDA 9.3/9.3sp1
brew install blacktop/tap/ida-mcp@9.2    # IDA 9.2

Windows (via Scoop)

scoop bucket add blacktop https://github.com/blacktop/scoop-bucket
scoop install blacktop/ida-mcp

Windows note: See the Windows platform setup section below for DLL discovery options.

macOS / Linux (via Nix)

nix shell github:blacktop/nur#ida-mcp \
  --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'

Direct download — grab the archive for your platform from GitHub Releases.

Build from source

See docs/BUILDING.md.

ida-mcp versions mirror IDA Pro versions (v9.4.x for IDA 9.4, v9.3.x for IDA 9.3, and v9.2.x for IDA 9.2). A version mismatch is detected at startup with a clear error message. Scoop and NUR publish the latest version. For older IDA versions, use the matching GitHub Release or, on Apple Silicon, the versioned Homebrew cask.

Platform Setup

macOS

Standard IDA installations in /Applications work automatically:

claude mcp add ida -- ida-mcp

If you see Library not loaded: @rpath/libida.dylib, set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to your IDA path:

claude mcp add ida -e DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH='/path/to/IDA.app/Contents/MacOS' -- ida-mcp

Supported paths (auto-detected):

/Applications/IDA Professional 9.4.app/Contents/MacOS
/Applications/IDA Home 9.4.app/Contents/MacOS
/Applications/IDA Essential 9.4.app/Contents/MacOS

Linux

The IDA installer defaults to ~/ida-pro-9.4 — the launcher script auto-detects this:

claude mcp add ida -- ida-mcp

For non-default install locations, set IDADIR:

claude mcp add ida -e IDADIR='/path/to/ida' -- ida-mcp

Resolution order: $IDADIR → ~/ida-pro-9.4 → /opt/ida-pro-9.4 and other RUNPATH fallbacks.

Windows

Option A — Install ida-mcp.exe into your IDA directory (simplest, no env setup needed):

# Copy the binary next to ida.dll / idalib.dll
copy ida-mcp.exe "C:\Program Files\IDA Professional 9.4\"
claude mcp add ida -- "C:\Program Files\IDA Professional 9.4\ida-mcp.exe"

Option B — Install via Scoop (auto-detects IDA and sets IDADIR):

scoop bucket add blacktop https://github.com/blacktop/scoop-bucket
scoop install blacktop/ida-mcp
claude mcp add ida -- ida-mcp

Option C — Set IDADIR manually:

$idaDir = "C:\Program Files\IDA Professional 9.4"
[Environment]::Set
