Super Trouper: an open-source MCP server for Frida-based mobile reverse engineering

neathack · reddit · 2026-09-16

The author released Super Trouper, an open-source MCP server for iOS/Android reverse engineering built on the Frida 17.x toolkit. Unlike embedding Python-based Frida into agent workflows, it ships as a single Go binary that connects to local or remote Frida servers over USB or TCP/IP, and can also run via Docker.

Scoped capabilities include discovering devices and processes, attaching and managing sessions, and loading TypeScript instrumentation scripts with message exchange. It targets authorized use: owned apps, lab targets, and approved engagements. The demo shows it attached to a virtual iPhone running iOS 26 (also compatible with the just-released iOS 27) investigating an installed app. The author seeks MCP-specific feedback on tool boundaries, error/session-state models for stateful tools, and whether reproducible workflow examples beat adding more tools.
