A sandboxed MCP server and CLI for running reverse engineering utilities through a unified interface with filesystem isolation, timeouts, and argument validation. It supports tools such as strings, objdump, readelf, binwalk, hexdump, xxd, and file detection.
From the registry: A sandboxed MCP tool for reverse engineering with multiple tool integrations
Install & configure
Prerequisites
- requiredInstall Python 3.11+Python 3.11 or newer is required to run the MCP server package.
- requiredInstall mcp-reverse-engineeringInstall the MCP reverse engineering server from PyPI.
https://pypi.org/project/mcp-reverse-engineering/$ pip install mcp-reverse-engineering - requiredInstall external reverse engineering toolsThe server depends on external CLI tools for functionality. The README explicitly mentions tools such as binwalk, radare2, and ghidra must be installed separately. Available tool support in practice also includes common utilities like strings, objdump, and readelf.
Install in your client
Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest
Please install the `mcp_reverse_engineering` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).
Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Python 3.11+** — Python 3.11 or newer is required to run the MCP server package.
- **Install mcp-reverse-engineering** — Install the MCP reverse engineering server from PyPI. Run: `pip install mcp-reverse-engineering` (https://pypi.org/project/mcp-reverse-engineering/)
- **Install external reverse engineering tools** — The server depends on external CLI tools for functionality. The README explicitly mentions tools such as binwalk, radare2, and ghidra must be installed separately. Available tool support in practice also includes common utilities like strings, objdump, and readelf.
Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `python`
- args: ["-m","mcp_reverse_engineering.server"]
Note: The README shows Claude Desktop installation via `mcp install src/mcp_reverse_engineering/server.py`, but the canonical stdio shape is best represented as running the installed Python module directly. No environment variables are documented. The README states stdio transport via `mcp.run()`.
Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.Note: The README shows Claude Desktop installation via `mcp install src/mcp_reverse_engineering/server.py`, but the canonical stdio shape is best represented as running the installed Python module directly.
