README

GhidraLens

Ghidra, rendered inside your AI client. Click a symbol to rename it. Click a call to follow it.

Every Ghidra MCP server so far returns text. The model can read it; you cannot navigate it. GhidraLens returns the same analysis as an interactive view — built on MCP Apps (io.modelcontextprotocol/ui), the extension that lets a server ship real HTML into the conversation.

You and the model are looking at the same live program. Rename a variable by clicking it and the model's next decompile sees the new name.

That is a real screenshot: where.exe, decompiled by Ghidra, every identifier carrying the address it came from.

What you get

View	What it does
Decompiler	Ghidra's C output as a live token stream — every identifier carries its address and its kind. Click a local to rename it, click a call to follow it. Callers, callees and variables in a sidebar.
Function browser	Every function in the binary, filterable and sortable by address, name, size or caller count. Click a row to decompile it.
Call graph	Callers to the left, callees to the right, the function you asked about in the middle. Click any node to recenter.

Function browser

Call graph

Ten tools total. Three open views; the rest are lookups and writes, including two the model never sees — they exist only so a click in a view can fire them.

How it fits together

  MCP client  ──stdio──▶  server/  ──HTTP──▶  bridge/  ──JPype──▶  Ghidra (JVM)
  (Claude,                 TypeScript         PyGhidra            program stays
   Cursor, …)              MCP server         session             resident
       ▲
       │  ui:// HTML in a sandboxed iframe
       └──  ui/  three self-contained views

The bridge is a separate long-lived process on purpose. Ghidra's auto-analysis is the expensive step, and it happens once. Measured on a 64 KB Windows system utility (198 functions):


First open, with analysis	25 s
Re-open the same binary	0.3 s
Decompile one 2 KB function	0.4 s
87-node call graph	< 0.1 s

Restart the MCP server or the client and the analysed program is still there.

Setup

Prerequisites: Ghidra 11.3+, a JDK 21+, Python 3.9–3.13 (not 3.14 — JPype has no wheel for it yet), Node 20+. See bridge/setup.py.md — the Python side is fussy and that file covers every way it goes wrong. GhidraLens finds a JDK for you if JAVA_HOME is unset, which covers the usual "installed Java, shell has not restarted" case.

git clone https://github.com/hellosverre/ghidralens
cd ghidralens
npm install
npm run build

Then start the bridge on the binary you want to look at:

python bridge/serve.py --binary /path/to/target.exe

It prints a token. Put that, and the path to the built server, into your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghidralens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ghidralens"],
      "env": {
        "GHIDRALENS_BRIDGE_UR
