Frida MCP Server

by nonsleepr

Frida MCP Server

A MCP server that provides dynamic instrumentation capabilities through Frida. Built with TypeScript and optimized for Bun runtime.

Features

  • Dynamic Instrumentation: Hook functions, inspect memory, and modify behavior of running processes

  • Device Management: Support for local, USB, and remote Frida devices

  • Process Control: Spawn, attach, resume, and kill processes

  • Interactive Sessions: Create persistent sessions for complex instrumentation workflows

  • Script Execution: Execute JavaScript code with both one-shot and persistent modes

  • File Operations: Download files from instrumented processes and query module information

Prerequisites

  • Bun >= 1.0.0

  • Frida >= 17.0.0 (installed on target system)

Installation

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/nonsleepr/frida-mcp.ts cd frida-mcp.ts # Install dependencies bun install

Configuration

Environment Variables

  • FRIDA_REMOTE_HOST: Remote Frida server hostname/IP (e.g., "192.168.1.100")

  • FRIDA_REMOTE_PORT: Remote Frida server port (default: 27042)

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "frida": { "command": "bun", "args": ["run", "/path/to/frida-mcp.ts/src/index.ts"] } } }

Roo Configuration

This project includes a pre-configured .roo/mcp.json file for project-level MCP server configuration. The configuration is automatically available when you open this project in VS Code with Roo installed.

Project Configuration (

{ "mcpServers": { "frida": { "command": "bun", "args": ["run", "src/index.ts"], "env": { "FRIDA_REMOTE_HOST": "", "FRIDA_REMOTE_PORT": "27042" }, "disabled": false, "alwaysAllow": [] } } }

To use with a remote Frida device: Edit .roo/mcp.json and set the FRIDA_REMOTE_HOST environment variable:

"env": { "FRIDA_REMOTE_HOST": "192.168.1.100", "FRIDA_REMOTE_PORT": "27042" }

Available Tools

Device & Process Management

Tool

Description

Parameters

attach_to_process

Attach to a running process by PID. Returns attachment status without creating a persistent session. Use

create_interactive_session

for session-based instrumentation.

pid

(number)

device_id

(optional string or connection string hostname:port)

spawn_process

Spawn a process with Frida attached in paused state. The process will be paused at startup. Use

resume_process()

after loading scripts to continue execution.

program

(string)

args

(optional string[])

device_id

(optional string or connection string)

resume_process

Resume a spawned process.

pid

(number)

device_id

(optional string or connection string)

kill_process

Kill a process by PID.

pid

(number)

device_id

(optional string or connection string)

Interactive Sessions

Tool

Description

Parameters

create_interactive_session

Create an interactive session for dynamic instrumentation. Establishes a Frida session for injecting JavaScript, hooking functions, and monitoring the target process. The session persists until explicitly closed or the process terminates.

process_id

(number)

device_id

(optional string or connection string)

execute_in_session

Execute JavaScript code within an existing Frida session.

Modes:

keep_alive=false

(default): Script runs once, results in initial_logs

keep_alive=true

: Script persists for hooks, retrieve messages via

frida://sessions/{session_id}/messages

resource

session_id

(string)

javascript_code

(string)

keep_alive

(optional boolean, default: false)

load_script_file

Load and execute a Frida JavaScript file into an existing session.

session_id

(string)

script_path

(string)

keep_alive

(optional boolean, default: true)

File Operations

Tool

Description

Parameters

download_file

Download a file from remote system using Frida instrumentation. Uses double backslashes for Windows paths. Attaches to specified PID or finds explorer.exe. Works best for files up to ~500MB with 60s timeout.

file_path

(string)

output_path

(string)

pid

(optional number)

device_id

(optional string or connection string)

Available Resources

Resources provide real-time, read-only access to Frida state via URI.

Direct Resources

URI

Description

frida://devices

List all connected Frida devices

frida://sessions

List all active Frida sessions and their statuses

Resource Templates

URI Template

Description

frida://devices/{device_id}

Get detailed information about a specific device by ID

frida://devices/{device_id}/processes

List processes on a specific Frida device. Use "local", "usb", or "remote" for automatic device selection, provide a specific device ID, or use a connection string (hostname:port or hostname).

frida://devices/{device_id}/processes/by-name/{process_name}

Find a process by name (case-insensitive partial match) on a specific device. Supports connection strings (hostname:port or hostname).

frida://devices/{device_id}/processes/{pid}/module

Get main module information for a process (path, base address, size). Supports connection strings (hostname:port or hostname).

frida://sessions/{sessionId}/messages

Retrieve messages from persistent scripts. Append

/last:N

to limit results (e.g.,

/last:10

for last 10 messages) or

/all

for unlimited. Default limit is 100 messages. Messages are consumed when retrieved.

hybrid server

The server is able to function both locally and remotely, depending on the configuration or use case.

Enables dynamic instrumentation of running processes through Frida, allowing users to hook functions, inspect memory, modify process behavior, and execute JavaScript code for debugging and reverse engineering.
