REA, 250k-star open-source MCP server, hands Ghidra and IDA to your agent
Roger_M_Taylor · x · 2026-10-15
REA is an open-source MCP server (250k+ GitHub stars) that delegates reverse engineering to AI agents. Give it an app and a question, and the agent traces the feature down to compiled code, explains how it works, and can build a version for your own project.
- It unifies reverse-engineering tools like Ghidra, IDA and JADX under one interface callable by Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents
- When the agent asks REA to inspect an app, REA picks the right tool, runs it locally, and returns findings along with the evidence behind each one
- The agent then digs deeper using those findings
