Установка

Выберите клиент

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ida-pro-mcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ida-pro-mcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ida-pro-mcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ida-pro-mcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "ida-pro-mcp",
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue использует массив объектов серверов, а не map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "ida-pro-mcp": {
      "command": {
        "path": "TODO",
        "args": [
          "See README: https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Добавьте в context_servers. Zed перезагружается автоматически.

claude mcp add ida-pro-mcp -- TODO 'See README: https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp'

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

How to reverse engineer a binary with AI assistance in IDA Pro

👤 Reverse engineers and security researchers analyzing binaries they own or have authorization to test ⏱ ~60 min advanced

Когда использовать: You have a binary loaded in IDA Pro and want AI to help understand and annotate it.

Предварительные требования

IDA Pro 8.3+ (not IDA Free) — Commercial license from Hex-Rays
ida-pro-mcp installed — pip install <repo-url> && ida-pro-mcp --install

Поток

Get an overview

List all functions in this binary. Which ones look like they handle network communication based on their names and imports?✓ Скопировано

→ Categorized function list with network-related functions highlighted
Decompile key functions

Decompile the main network handler function. Explain the protocol it implements and rename variables to be descriptive.✓ Скопировано

→ Decompiled C code with renamed variables and protocol analysis
Trace data flow

Find all cross-references to the encryption key buffer. Who reads it and who writes it?✓ Скопировано

→ Xref chain showing data flow from key generation to encryption calls

Итог: A well-annotated IDB with key functions understood, renamed, and documented.

Подводные камни

Decompilation can be slow on large functions — Start with smaller callees and work up. Use disasm() for quick overviews.

Solve a CTF reverse engineering challenge using IDA Pro and AI

👤 CTF participants working on binary reversing challenges ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

Когда использовать: You have a CTF binary that needs static and/or dynamic analysis to find the flag.

Предварительные требования

IDA Pro with ida-pro-mcp — Install and connect

Поток

Find the validation logic

Search for strings containing 'flag', 'correct', 'wrong'. Decompile the functions that reference them.✓ Скопировано

→ Validation function with flag-checking logic
Debug to extract the flag

Set a breakpoint at the comparison. Run the binary with input 'AAAA' and show me what it compares against.✓ Скопировано

→ Expected flag value visible in registers or memory

Итог: Flag extracted through combined static and dynamic analysis.

Подводные камни

Anti-debug tricks prevent breakpoint hits — Use find_insns to locate anti-debug checks and patch them with patch_asm

Комбинации

Сочетайте с другими MCP — эффект x10

ida-pro-mcp + filesystem

Export decompiled code and analysis notes to files

Decompile all functions related to the crypto module and save the annotated code to ~/analysis/crypto.c.✓ Скопировано

Инструменты

Что предоставляет этот MCP

Инструмент	Входные данные	Когда вызывать
decompile	address_or_name: str	Decompile a function to C pseudocode
disasm	address: str, count?: int	Disassemble instructions at an address
rename	old_name: str, new_name: str	Rename a function or variable
xrefs_to	address: str	Find all cross-references to an address
find_bytes	pattern: str	Search for a byte pattern in the binary
patch_asm	address: str, asm: str	Patch assembly instructions at an address
dbg_run	none	Start the debugger
set_comments	address: str, comment: str	Add a comment at an address

Стоимость и лимиты

Во что обходится

Квота API: N/A — local IDA Pro instance
Токенов на вызов: 200–3000 tokens (decompilation output can be large)
Деньги: Requires IDA Pro commercial license ($). The MCP plugin itself is free.
Совет: Use list_funcs to identify targets before decompiling to avoid decompiling every function.

Безопасность

Права, секреты, радиус поражения

Хранение учётных данных: N/A — local tool

Исходящий трафик: All analysis is local. No network calls from the MCP server.

⚠ 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.
Patching binaries modifies the IDB. Use IDA's snapshot feature before making changes.
Debugger operations execute the target binary — only debug in sandboxed environments.

Устранение неполадок

Частые ошибки и исправления

ida-pro-mcp --install fails

Ensure Python 3.11+ and IDA Pro 8.3+ are installed. The installer needs to find IDA's plugin directory.

Проверить: python3 --version && which idat

Decompilation fails

Not all functions decompile cleanly (obfuscation, hand-written assembly). Try disasm() as a fallback.

Проверить: Try decompiling a simpler function first

Debugger won't start

Ensure IDA's debugger is configured for the target platform (local, remote, etc.). Check that the binary is not already running.

Проверить: Check IDA's debugger settings

Альтернативы

ida-pro-mcp в сравнении

Альтернатива	Когда использовать	Компромисс
GhidrAssistMCP	You prefer free Ghidra over commercial IDA Pro	Ghidra is free but IDA Pro generally has faster analysis and wider format support
reverse-engineering-assistant	You want a Ghidra MCP with a tool-driven approach optimized for LLMs	Fewer tools but better context management for AI interaction
