binja-lattice-mcp
Provides a Binary Ninja plugin and MCP server bridge that lets clients query binary analysis data (functions, disassembly/pseudocode, types, tags, progress, strings/bytes/search) and also modify the active Binary Ninja database (rename functions/variables, add comments, set types/signatures, create structs/tags) over an HTTP/REST interface exposed to an MCP server/client workflow.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
README indicates token-based auth with expiration/renewal and optional TLS (disabled by default). API key is generated and shown in Binary Ninja logs, and tokens are passed via environment variable; this can be risky if logs or environments are exposed. No evidence of fine-grained scopes or detailed authorization controls in the provided documentation.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
Running locally (or within a trusted network) with short-lived credentials, where an agent can call MCP tools to read/annotate a single Binary Ninja database interactively.
Avoid When
Exposing the service broadly to untrusted clients, logging/handling API keys insecurely, or when agent-driven write operations (renames/types/comments) require strict change governance.
Use Cases
- • LLM-assisted reverse engineering workflows in Binary Ninja via MCP tools
- • Programmatic extraction of binary metadata and analysis context for downstream reasoning
- • Automated or semi-automated annotation improvements (renames, comments, types) driven by LLMs
- • Searching for byte patterns and inspecting global/data regions referenced by code
Not For
- • Use as a general internet-facing API without deploying behind strong network controls
- • Multi-tenant production SaaS use without additional hardening and auditing
- • High-assurance environments where modifying the Binary Ninja database must be tightly controlled/approved
Interface
Authentication
Authentication is token/API-key based with token expiration/renewal described; scope granularity is not described in the provided README.
Pricing
Self-hosted open-source plugin; no pricing details provided.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Service prints/shows API key in Binary Ninja logs at server start—agents should avoid capturing/logging secrets.
- ⚠ Write tools can permanently alter the active Binary Ninja database; agents should confirm intended changes before applying.
- ⚠ Token expiration/renewal exists but retry/reauth behavior is not clearly documented for tool calls.
