How do I install the idapro mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `DEFAULT_HOST` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Idapro MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to interact with IDA Pro for reverse engineering and binary analysis tasks.

What it actually does

This project provides a bridge between AI assistants and IDA Pro, a popular disassembler and debugger used for reverse engineering software. It consists of three main components:

Execute Python scripts in IDA Pro from AI assistants
Retrieve information about binaries:
Advanced binary analysis capabilities:
Search for immediate values in instructions
Search for text strings in the binary
Search for specific byte sequences

Configuration

IDA Pro 8.3 or later - Node.js 18 or later - TypeScript
