REA: open-source MCP lets Claude Code reverse engineer any app down to binaries
aitrendz_xyz · x · 2026-10-12
REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) is an open-source MCP tool that lets Claude Code or Codex take apart any application down to the binary level: it explains how each feature works, covering native apps, websites, APKs, firmware and even smart contract bytecode, backs every claim with evidence, and rebuilds its own version of the feature. The post claims 25,000+ GitHub stars in a single day. Reverse engineering that used to take weeks of specialist work can now be done by pointing an AI agent at an app and asking how it works.
