What is the BinjaLattice MCP server?

BinjaLattice MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Plugin interface for remote communications with Binary Ninja database and MCP server for interfacing with LLMs.

What you get

BinjaLattice is a secure communication protocol for Binary Ninja that enables interaction with external Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and tools. It provides a structured way to acquire information from Binary Ninja and the ability to modify an active Binary Ninja database over HTTP with a REST API.

  • Secure Authentication — Token-based authentication system
  • Encrypted Communication — Optional SSL/TLS encryption
  • Binary Analysis Context — Export pseudocode, disassembly, variable names, binary information etc
  • Binary Modification — Update function names, add comments, rename variables
  • Token Management — Automatic expiration and renewal of authentication tokens

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

What the assistant can call

Once BinjaLattice is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • Annotations — The Annotations tool exposed by this server
  • Commands — The Commands tool exposed by this server

Configuration and credentials

You will need 2 environment variables: BNJLAT, YOUR_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the binjalattice mcp server does with a few real requests.

Choosing this one

Plenty of database access servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. BinjaLattice's toolset — Annotations, Commands — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Invoke-RE; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

How to install the BinjaLattice MCP server

On Windows, use backslashes:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
      "binja-lattice-mcp": {
        "command": "C:\\path\\to\\BinjaLattice\\.venv\\Scripts\\python.exe",
        "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\BinjaLattice\\mcp_server.py"],
        "env": {
            "BNJLAT": "your_api_key_here"
        }
      }
    }
}

Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
