Overview
What is Headless IDA MCP Server?
Headless IDA MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that uses IDA Pro’s headless mode (idat) to analyze binary files. It provides a suite of tools via MCP for managing and manipulating functions, variables, and more. It is intended for users who want to run IDA Pro analysis through an MCP client rather than interactively.
How to use Headless IDA MCP Server?
Install Python 3.12 or higher, IDA Pro with headless support, clone the repository, set up a virtual environment with uv, and install dependencies. Copy the .env_example to .env and configure IDA_PATH, PORT, HOST, and TRANSPORT (sse or stdio). Start the server with uv run headless_ida_mcp_server. Connect using an MCP client such as the Model Context Protocol Inspector or by adding a configuration block to your client.
