What is the Binary Ninja MCP Server?

The Binary Ninja MCP Server is a plugin that exposes the functionality of Binary Ninja through HTTP endpoints, supporting real - time interaction with other MCP clients (such as Claude Desktop). It helps users generate analysis reports, rename functions, search for functions, etc.

How to use the Binary Ninja MCP Server?

After installing the plugin, start the MCP Server, and then configure the connection in an MCP - protocol - supported client (such as Claude Desktop) to start using it.

Applicable Scenarios

It is suitable for developers, reverse engineers, or security researchers who need to efficiently disassemble and analyze binary files.

Main Features

Get Binary Status

Get the current status of the loaded binary file.

List All Function Names

List all function names in the program.

Rename Function

Rename an existing function to a new user - defined name.

Decompile Function

Decompile a specific function and return C - language code.

Advantages

Seamlessly integrate with the powerful functions of Binary Ninja.

Support multiple advanced functions, such as decompilation and comment management.

Improve the efficiency of reverse engineering and reduce the time for manual operations.

Limitations

Need to be familiar with the basic operations of Binary Ninja.

May require additional configuration steps (such as virtual environment setup).

📦 Components

This repository contains two independent components:

A Binary Ninja plugin that provides an MCP server, exposing Binary Ninja's capabilities through HTTP endpoints. This can be used with any client that implements the MCP protocol.
A separate MCP bridge component that connects your preferred MCP client to the Binary Ninja MCP server. Although Claude Desktop is the primary integration path, the MCP server can also be used with other clients.

Claude Desktop Bridge (Optional)

This part is only required if you want to use Claude Desktop as the MCP client. Make sure your virtual environment is properly configured:

git clone git@github.com:fosdickio/binary_ninja_mcp.git
cd binary_ninja_mcp

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # On macOS/Linux

pip install -r bridge/requirements.txt

Automated Script for Setting Up Claude Desktop

You may need to run the following command to install dependencies:

pip install pyinstaller requests

📖 Usage Instructions
