⚙️ Jadx MCP Plugin — Decompiler Access for Claude via MCP

This project provides a Jadx plugin written in Java, which exposes the Jadx API over HTTP — enabling live interaction through MCP clients like Claude via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). A lightweight FastMCP adapter in Python acts as a bridge between Claude and the plugin. This enables intelligent navigation and automation of reverse engineering workflows, ideal for AI-assisted security analysis of Android apps.

🧰 Setup Instructions

# Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/mobilehackinglab/jadx-mcp-plugin.git cd jadx-mcp-plugin # Create and activate a virtual environment python3 -m venv venv # Activate: source venv/bin/activate # Linux/Mac .\venv\Scripts\activate # Windows

Install Python dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

🧠 Setup Claude MCP CLient Integration

To use this adapter in Claude Desktop, go to File -> Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config -> claude_desktop_config.json and add an MCP server pointing to the Python executable in the venv (to prevent depedency issues) and the full adapter path following below examples:

Windows:

{ "mcpServers": { "Jadx MCP Server": { "command": "C:\\Workset\\jadx-mcp-plugin\\venv\\Scripts\\python.exe", "args": ["C:\\Workset\\jadx-mcp-plugin\\fastmcp_adapter.py"] } } }

MacOS / Linux:

{ "mcpServers": { "Jadx MCP Server": { "command": "/Users/yourname/jadx-mcp-plugin/venv/bin/python", "args": ["/Users/yourname/jadx-mcp-plugin/fastmcp_adapter.py"] } } }

Make sure to restart (Quit) Claude after editing the config. After restart it should look like this:

✅ Usage Flow

  1. Open Jadx with the latest plugin JAR from the releases placed in its plugins/ folder or load it via Plugins -> install plugin.

  2. Load an APK or DEX file

  3. (Optional) You can specify the HTTP interface address by launching Jadx with:

    jadx-gui -Pjadx-mcp.http-interface=http://localhost:8085

    This is useful if you want to change the default host/port (http://localhost:8085).

    Note: If you change the interface address here, make sure to also update the corresponding URL in fastmcp_adapter.py to match.

  4. Claude will detect and activate the Jadx MCP Server tools.

  5. You can now list classes, fetch source, inspect methods/fields, and extract code live.

🛠 Development

☕ Java Plugin

The Java plugin is located at:

plugin/src/main/java/com/mobilehackinglab/jadxplugin/McpPlugin.java

It uses the JadxPlugin API (jadx.api.*) to:

  • Load decompiled classes and methods

  • Serve structured data via an embedded HTTP server

  • Respond to /invoke and /tools endpoints

🚀 Automated Installation with Gradle Tasks

You can use the following Gradle task to build and install the plugin in one step:

./gradlew installPlugin

This uses the jadx plugins CLI. Make sure Jadx is installed and available in your PATH.

For other plugin-related tasks (uninstall, enable/disable), see the task definitions in plugin/build.gradle.

🔧 Manual Installation

To build the plugin:

./gradlew build # Output: plugin/build/libs/jadx-mcp-plugin-<version>.jar

Install the plugin JAR using the jadx plugins CLI:

jadx plugins --install-jar path/to/jadx-mcp-plugin-<version>.jar

Alternatively, place the built .jar file into your Jadx plugins/ folder, typically located at: ~/.jadx/plugins/

If you place the JAR manually, you’ll also need to enable the plugin through the Jadx GUI or by running:

jadx plugins --enable jadx-mcp

Python FastMCP Adapter

The adapter file is:

fastmcp_adapter.py

It translates Claude’s MCP tool calls into HTTP POSTs to the running Jadx plugin server. Make sure Jadx is open before starting Claude.
