IDA MCP (Hex-Rays)
IDA MCP is Hex-Rays' official MCP server for the IDA disassembler and decompiler. It lets AI coding agents and people work on the same IDA databases at the same time, so an agent can inspect functions, types and decompiled code, rename and annotate, and coordinate analysis across several related binaries in one session. It works with the IDA GUI through a plugin or headless through idalib, installs with Hex-Rays' hcli tool, and needs IDA 9.4 or later.
