IDA Pro MCP Server (Rust)
IDA Pro MCP server written in Rust enabling AI agents to interact with IDA Pro — the industry-standard reverse engineering and binary disassembly tool — querying disassembled code, retrieving function analysis, accessing decompiled pseudocode, and integrating IDA Pro's binary analysis capabilities into agent-driven malware analysis and reverse engineering workflows.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Local process. No network auth. IDA Pro license required. Community Rust MCP. Analyze malware in isolated environment.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
A security researcher needs to integrate IDA Pro's binary analysis with AI agents — for automated malware analysis, vulnerability research, or RE workflow automation with IDA Pro as the backend.
Avoid When
You don't have an IDA Pro license, or you're analyzing source code rather than binaries.
Use Cases
- • Querying disassembled functions from malware analysis agents
- • Retrieving decompiled pseudocode for understanding binary logic from RE agents
- • Analyzing binary structures and imports from security research agents
- • Automating reverse engineering tasks from vulnerability research agents
- • Documenting binary analysis findings from security audit agents
- • Integrating IDA analysis into AI-assisted reverse engineering workflows
Not For
- • Teams without IDA Pro license (IDA Pro is expensive commercial software)
- • Source code analysis (use code review tools for source-available code)
- • Teams preferring Ghidra (open source alternative to IDA Pro)
Interface
Authentication
No network authentication — communicates with local IDA Pro instance via IDA's plugin/API. IDA Pro license required. Local process communication only.
Pricing
IDA Pro requires expensive commercial license from Hex-Rays. MCP server itself is free open source (Rust). Significant barrier to entry — requires existing IDA Pro installation.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ IDA Pro must be running and the MCP plugin loaded before agents can connect
- ⚠ IDA Pro license is expensive — most users won't have this tool
- ⚠ Rust binary must be compiled separately — requires Rust toolchain
- ⚠ IDA Pro API version compatibility: ensure MCP matches your IDA Pro version
- ⚠ Community Rust MCP from blacktop — niche tool with limited contributor base
- ⚠ Binary analysis results are IDA-specific — agents need RE domain knowledge
