Make sure the GhidraMCPPlugin is enabled in File. Exposed over MCP by the ghidramcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Python3 — MCP SDKextensions.properties — Module.manifestSetup 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.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. GhidraMCP's toolset — Python3, extensions.properties — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by LaurieWired; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
