Decision brief
ida-pro-mcp integrates AI to aid in binary analysis for IDA Pro users through MCP.
Good fit when
- When needing advanced assistance with reverse engineering tasks specifically in the IDA Pro environment
- For scenarios where leveraging language models through MCP can enhance understanding of complex binaries
Avoid when
- If your binary analysis work does not involve or support use within the IDA Pro interface
- When the security risks associated with integrating external AI-powered tools into reverse engineering workflows are unacceptable under your circumstances

Installation (Claude Code)
To install the latest IDA Pro MCP in Claude Code:
claude plugin marketplace add mrexodia/claude-marketplace
claude plugin uninstall ida-pro-mcp@mrexodia
claude plugin install ida-pro-mcp@mrexodia
Installation (Codex)
To install the latest IDA Pro MCP in Codex:
codex plugin marketplace add mrexodia/codex-marketplace
codex plugin remove ida-pro-mcp@mrexodia
codex plugin add ida-pro-mcp@mrexodia
Installation (Kimi Code)
To install the latest IDA Pro MCP in Kimi Code, run this slash command in the chat:
/plugins install https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp/tree/main
/reload
This installs the idalib MCP server and the idapython skill. Plugins are copied to
$KIMI_CODE_HOME/plugins/managed/, so uv must be on your PATH. The first session after
installing is slower, because uv resolves the dependencies before the server responds.
Installation (GUI)
Note: the MCP plugin is no longer recommended and will eventually be deprecated. Use idalib-mcp instead.
If you want to configure the MCP server manually from the IDA GUI:
pip uninstall ida-pro-mcp
pip install https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Configure the MCP servers and install the IDA Plugin:
ida-pro-mcp --install
Important: Make sure you completely restart IDA and your MCP client for the installation to take effect. Some clients (like Claude) run in the background and need to be quit from the tray icon.
