npx -y ida-pro-mcpFrequently Asked Questions
What can IDA Pro MCP do?
Lets AI agents analyze binaries in IDA Pro: read disassembly code, identify function signatures and calling conventions, analyze control flow graphs, search for specific instruction patterns, and get cross-references. Dramatically accelerates code understanding in reverse engineering workflows.
Does IDA Pro MCP require an IDA Pro license?
Yes, you need IDA Pro (7.0 or newer) installed with a valid license. The MCP server interacts with IDA through its Python plugin interface, so it requires the full IDA Pro environment. The free IDA Free version may have limited functionality.
Is IDA Pro MCP free?
The MCP server itself is free and open source. However, IDA Pro itself is commercial software requiring a purchased license. If you already have an IDA Pro environment, using this MCP server incurs no additional cost.
