ida-pro-mcpMCP Server for IDA Pro.

— (0)

Reviewed by Daniel Nikulshyn·Updated July 2026

Overview

The IDA Pro MCP is a simple MCP Server for IDA Pro. It allows for vibe reversing in IDA Pro by enabling the use of various MCP clients. The MCP server can be installed in IDA Pro through the IDA GUI or through the use of the idalib package and a tool like uv. The server can be used in conjunction with a supported MCP client, such as Claude, to facilitate prompt engineering and reverse engineering tasks in IDA Pro. The tool provides a range of features, including the ability to retrieve and analyze information, disassemble and comment functions, and create reports. The user must be specific with their prompting due to the potential for LLM hallucinations, and the `int_convert` MCP tool should be used for converting number bases. The tool can be installed as a plugin in IDA Pro, and the client can be used to interact with the MCP server.

Q&A

Are there any upcoming changes or limitations I should know about?

The original MCP plugin is being deprecated in favor of the idalib‑mcp implementation, so future updates will focus on idalib. Additionally, you must use specific prompts and the `int_convert` tool to avoid LLM hallucinations, and the server requires Python 3.11+.

What MCP clients can I use with the server and how do I configure them?

The server supports any MCP client that follows the JSON config format, such as Claude, Codex, Kimi, Gemini, and others. Run `ida pro mcp config` (with idalib activated and uv installed) to generate a JSON configuration file tailored for your chosen client.
