Установка

Выберите клиент

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghidrassistmcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/symgraph/GhidrAssistMCP"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Откройте Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Перезапустите после сохранения.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghidrassistmcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/symgraph/GhidrAssistMCP"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor использует ту же схему mcpServers, что и Claude Desktop. Конфиг проекта приоритетнее глобального.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghidrassistmcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/symgraph/GhidrAssistMCP"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Щёлкните значок MCP Servers на боковой панели Cline, затем "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghidrassistmcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/symgraph/GhidrAssistMCP"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Тот же формат, что и Claude Desktop. Перезапустите Windsurf для применения.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "ghidrassistmcp",
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/symgraph/GhidrAssistMCP"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue использует массив объектов серверов, а не map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "ghidrassistmcp": {
      "command": {
        "path": "TODO",
        "args": [
          "See README: https://github.com/symgraph/GhidrAssistMCP"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Добавьте в context_servers. Zed перезагружается автоматически.

claude mcp add ghidrassistmcp -- TODO 'See README: https://github.com/symgraph/GhidrAssistMCP'

Однострочная команда. Проверить: claude mcp list. Удалить: claude mcp remove.

Сценарии использования

Реальные сценарии: GhidrAssistMCP

How to analyze an unknown binary with AI assistance in Ghidra

👤 Security researchers and malware analysts working in sandboxed environments ⏱ ~60 min advanced

Когда использовать: You have a binary to analyze and want AI to help understand its functionality.

Предварительные требования

Ghidra 11.4+ with GhidrAssistMCP installed — Download release ZIP, install via File → Install Extensions
MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) — Configure to connect to GhidrAssistMCP's HTTP endpoint

Поток

Get binary overview

Get the binary info and list all imports. What libraries does this binary depend on and what do the imports suggest about its functionality?✓ Скопировано

→ Binary metadata with categorized import analysis
Analyze key functions

Find functions that reference network-related strings. Decompile the most interesting one and explain what it does.✓ Скопировано

→ Decompiled C code with annotated explanation
Rename and annotate

Based on our analysis, rename the functions we've identified with descriptive names and add comments explaining their purpose.✓ Скопировано

→ Confirmation of renamed symbols

Итог: A partially annotated binary with key functions identified, named, and documented.

Подводные камни

Large binaries with thousands of functions overwhelm the analysis — Start with imports and strings to identify interesting functions, then focus on those

Solve a CTF binary reverse engineering challenge with Ghidra and AI

👤 CTF participants tackling reverse engineering challenges ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

Когда использовать: You have a CTF binary that needs to be reversed to find a flag.

Предварительные требования

Ghidra with GhidrAssistMCP — Install the extension and load the challenge binary

Поток

Find the main logic

Search for functions that reference 'flag', 'correct', 'wrong', or 'password'. Decompile the most relevant one.✓ Скопировано

→ Decompiled function with validation logic
Trace the check

Follow the xrefs from the validation function. What data does it compare against and what transformation is applied to the input?✓ Скопировано

→ Detailed analysis of the check algorithm with data references

Итог: Understanding of the validation logic sufficient to derive the flag.

Подводные камни

Obfuscated binaries resist straightforward decompilation — Use get_basic_blocks to understand control flow, then analyze blocks individually

Комбинации

Сочетайте с другими MCP — эффект x10

ghidrassistmcp + filesystem

Export analysis results and annotated code to files for reporting

Export the decompiled code and our annotations for the network functions to a report file.✓ Скопировано

Инструменты

Что предоставляет этот MCP

Инструмент	Входные данные	Когда вызывать
get_binary_info	none	Get metadata about the loaded binary
get_functions	offset?: int, limit?: int	List functions in the binary
analyze_function	address: str	Decompile and analyze a specific function
search_strings	pattern: str	Search for strings in the binary
xrefs	address: str, action: str	Find cross-references to/from an address
rename_symbol	old_name: str, new_name: str	Rename a function or variable
get_imports	none	List all imported functions
get_basic_blocks	function_address: str	Get control flow blocks for a function

Стоимость и лимиты

Во что обходится

Квота API: N/A — fully local
Токенов на вызов: 200–2000 tokens (decompilation results can be large)
Деньги: Free — both Ghidra and GhidrAssistMCP are free
Совет: Use search_functions_by_name and search_strings to narrow targets before decompiling.

Безопасность

Права, секреты, радиус поражения

Хранение учётных данных: N/A

Исходящий трафик: Local only — Ghidra analysis stays on your machine

⚠ This tool is designed for authorized security research, CTF competitions, and defensive analysis only. Do not use it against systems you don't own or have written authorization to test.
Only analyze binaries you have legal right to reverse engineer.

Устранение неполадок

Частые ошибки и исправления

Plugin not showing in Ghidra

Ensure you installed the extension ZIP via File → Install Extensions, then restarted Ghidra. Enable via File → Configure → Configure Plugins.

Проверить: Search for 'GhidrAssistMCP' in the plugin configuration dialog

MCP client can't connect

Check the GhidrAssistMCP port in the plugin settings. Ensure no firewall blocks the connection.

Проверить: Check the Ghidra console for MCP server startup messages

Decompilation fails for a function

Some functions (especially obfuscated ones) may fail to decompile. Try disassembly instead, or fix the function boundaries with define_func.

Проверить: Use get_code as a fallback

Альтернативы

GhidrAssistMCP в сравнении

Альтернатива	Когда использовать	Компромисс
reverse-engineering-assistant	You want a tool-driven approach optimized for LLM interaction with focus on context management	Fewer tools but designed to reduce LLM hallucinations
ida-pro-mcp	You prefer IDA Pro over Ghidra for binary analysis	IDA Pro is commercial ($) but has broader format support and faster analysis
