IDA Pro MCP server

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to IDA Pro, the program people use to take apart and study software. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI questions about the file you have open, and it will look inside IDA Pro for the answers. It is handy for anyone doing reverse engineering, malware analysis, or security work.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about the program you are studying, like what a function does. The AI sends that request to this helper, which talks to IDA Pro on your computer. IDA Pro hands back things like the decompiled code, the list of functions, or where something is used. The AI then explains it to you in the chat. It can also make small changes in IDA Pro for you, like renaming a function or adding a comment.

What you can do with it

• Decompile a function and explain what it does
• List the functions or global variables in the file
• Show what a function calls or what calls it
• Convert numbers between decimal, hex, and bytes
• Rename functions and variables to clearer names
• Add comments to the code with its findings
• Write a report of the analysis it did

Try asking your AI

• “Decompile the main function and tell me what it does”
• “List all the imported functions and which module they come from”
• “What functions call this address, and why might that matter”
• “Rename these variables to names that make sense and add comments”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat: explanations of code, lists of functions or imports, and details about where things are used. If the AI makes changes, like renaming or commenting, you see those described too. It can also put together a written report of what it found. Everything shows up as normal text you can read and copy.

Before you start

Who it's for

Reverse engineers, malware analysts, and security researchers who already use IDA Pro and want their AI to help read and explain code.
