Install GhidraMCP

Pick your client, copy the command, done.

Local setup required. This server has to be cloned and prepared on your machine before you register it in Claude Code.

Run this once to clone and prepare the server before adding it to Claude Code.

Run in terminal

git clone https://github.com/albertlab0/GhidraMCP
cd GhidraMCP

Then follow the repository README for any remaining dependency or build steps before continuing.

After the local setup is done, run this command to point Claude Code at the built server.

Run in terminal

claude mcp add ghidra-mcp-31fa -- python "<FULL_PATH_TO_GHIDRAMCP>/dist/index.js" --ghidra-server http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Replace <FULL_PATH_TO_GHIDRAMCP>/dist/index.js with the actual folder you prepared in step 1.

Prerequisites & system requirements

An MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, or Codex)
Python 3.8+ with pip installed

Alternative installation methods

Add to claude_desktop_config.json
