# Ghidra

> Use this tool when you need to integrate AI assistants with the Ghidra reverse engineering platform to analyze binaries, understand program structure, and automate tasks like function decompilation and symbol management. It solves problems in reverse engineering workflows by enabling language models to autonomously analyze code and suggest meaningful names and annotations. The tool accepts binary inputs and outputs decompiled functions, disassembly, and cross-reference analysis through a dual-component architecture with Java and Python interfaces.

## Description

GhidraMCP by LaurieWired bridges the Ghidra reverse engineering platform with AI assistants through a dual-component architecture: a Java plugin that runs an embedded HTTP server within Ghidra (configurable port, defaults to 8080) and a Python MCP server that translates between the HTTP API and MCP protocol. The implementation exposes core Ghidra functionality including function decompilation, disassembly, symbol management, cross-reference analysis, string extraction, and program modification capabilities like renaming functions/variables and setting prototypes. Built for Ghidra 11.3.2 with Maven packaging and GitHub Actions CI/CD, it supports multiple MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cline, 5ire) through both stdio and SSE transports, enabling AI-assisted reverse engineering workflows where language models can autonomously analyze binaries, understand program structure, and suggest meaningful names and annotations based on code patterns and context.
