From the listing
About zboralski/ida-headless-mcp
zboralski/ida-headless-mcp provides a headless interface to IDA Pro for binary analysis, exposing its capabilities through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It runs IDA Pro in non-interactive mode and allows external tools, such as AI agents or automated scripts, to invoke disassembly, decompilation, and other analysis functions via standardized MCP requests.
Best for
Security researchers and developers who need to automate binary analysis with IDA Pro in server, CI/CD, or AI-integrated environments
Use cases
- Automating reverse engineering workflows with IDA Pro in CI/CD pipelines
- Integrating IDA Pro analysis into AI-driven code understanding or vulnerability detection systems
- Performing batch binary analysis on multiple samples without manual GUI interaction
Notes
126 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-02-16. Licensed MIT.
Pros
- Enables remote and automated access to IDA Pro's analysis engine
- Uses the Model Context Protocol, a standard for tool-agent communication
- Reduces resource overhead by running IDA Pro headlessly
Cons
- Requires a licensed installation of IDA Pro and proper headless setup
- MCP interface may not cover all IDA Pro features or plugins
- Initial configuration for headless mode and MCP integration can be complex
