# Detect It Easy (DIE)

> Use this tool when you need to analyze executable files for malware detection and reverse engineering, as it provides comprehensive file analysis, metadata extraction, and discovery of available analysis capabilities. It solves problems for security researchers, malware analysts, and AI assistants by offering programmatic access to Detect It Easy's detection capabilities through a command-line interface with options for JSON output and deep scanning. It takes executable files as input and outputs detailed analysis results, making it a valuable resource for understanding file composition and potential threats.

## Description

MCP server that bridges AI assistants with Detect It Easy (DIE), a popular executable file analysis tool used for malware detection and reverse engineering. Built by lazy-importer using Python with FastMCP, the implementation wraps DIE's command-line interface to provide three core tools: analyze_file for comprehensive executable analysis with options for deep scanning, entropy calculation, and JSON output; show_special_info for extracting specific file metadata using DIE's specialized methods; and list_available_methods for discovering what analysis capabilities are available for a given file. The server supports both stdio and SSE transport modes and includes a standalone example client, making it valuable for security researchers analyzing suspicious executables, malware analysts requiring programmatic access to DIE's detection capabilities, and AI assistants that need to understand file composition and potential threats in executable files.
