local-only server

The server can only run on the client’s local machine because it depends on local resources.

IDA MCP Server

Note

The idalib mode is under development, and it will not require installing the IDA plugin or running IDA (idalib is available from IDA Pro 9.0+).

Overview

A Model Context Protocol server for IDA interaction and automation. This server provides tools to read IDA database via Large Language Models.

Please note that mcp-server-ida is currently in early development. The functionality and available tools are subject to change and expansion as we continue to develop and improve the server.

Installation

When using uv no specific installation is needed. We will use uvx to directly run mcp-server-ida.

Using PIP

Alternatively you can install mcp-server-ida via pip:

pip install mcp-server-ida

After installation, you can run it as a script using:

python -m mcp_server_ida

IDA-Side

Copy repository/plugin/ida_mcp_server_plugin.py into IDAs plugin directory.

Configuration

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "git": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "mcp-server-ida" ] } }
"mcpServers": { "git": { "command": "python", "args": [ "-m", "mcp_server_ida" ] } }

Debugging

You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-ida

Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:

cd path/to/mcp-server-ida/src npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-server-ida

Running tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log will show the logs from the server and may help you debug any issues.

Development

If you are doing local development, there are two ways to test your changes:

  1. Run the MCP inspector to test your changes. See Debugging for run instructions.
  2. Test using the Claude desktop app. Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

UVX

{ "mcpServers": { "git": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/<path to mcp-server-ida>/src", "run", "mcp-server-ida" ] } }
