What it does
Ghidra is a free reverse-engineering tool: it helps people look inside finished programs to understand how they work. This project links Ghidra to AI tools through MCP (Model Context Protocol), giving the AI hundreds of analysis tools.
It includes a plugin for Ghidra's window, a version that runs without a screen, batch operations, and support for shared Ghidra servers and Docker.
Reverse engineering is commonly used in security research.
Who it's for
Security researchers and software analysts who use Ghidra and want AI help.
