REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) is a fully open-source (MIT) MCP server that lets AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity take apart any app and explain how it works, down to the native binary level. The repo has reached 448k GitHub stars and is the #1 trending repository of the day.
Key details from the README: it spans binaries, app behavior, and runtime behavior in one tool catalog; integrates via claude-plugin, codex-plugin, and agent skills; installs with npx rea-agents setup; npm package is at v6.8.0 with 6.3k online in Discord. The maintainers warn to download only from morluto/rea, rea.tools, or the official rea-agents npm package—similar repo names or copied READMEs are not official.
