RDX: a native Rust APK/DEX decompiler with a built-in MCP server for AI assistants

evilsocket · x · 2026-09-24

Ch0pin released RDX, an open-source desktop Android reverse-engineering and code-review tool written in Rust, available on macOS, Windows and Linux.

Key points:

Native, self-contained engine: Java reconstruction runs fully in Rust — no JVM, Java install, or separate decompiler service required.
One-stop analysis: open an APK, read reconstructed Java, follow method calls, and inspect the manifest and resources; navigate from a manifest component to its code and its usages.
Responsive search: background searches stream results as they arrive, with a session index that caches decompiled source for repeat queries.
Memory-conscious: bounded source caches and a disk-backed search index keep RAM usage in check.
Built-in MCP server: AI assistants can connect via MCP and operate the tool directly.
