@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@BinSightwhat is this download.exe, and is it packed or signed?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
BinSight
The AI X-ray for any file. Point it at a binary and ask: what is it, what does it hide, and what changed?
Offline · cross-platform · with evidence. It never runs the file.
Built on REA (morluto/rea) · MIT
Most files are black boxes: an .exe you downloaded, a firmware dump, a driver,
a game, an ECU calibration, an app update. BinSight opens the box — statically,
on your own machine, without ever running the file — and answers the three
questions that matter, in plain language and with the evidence to back them up.
You: What is this file? Is it hiding anything? And what changed vs the old version?
BinSight: PE/Windows x64, compiled with MSVC, UPX-packed (entropy 7.9),
imports consistent with network + process injection, Authenticode
signature present, and vs the previous build 3 regions changed —
here are the offsets. All static, all offline, with evidence.The three questions
🔎 What is it?
triage_file and inspect_executable read ELF, PE/Windows and Mach-O (and raw
blobs) and tell you the type, architecture, entry point, imports/exports,
sections, hashes, and a compiler/packer fingerprint — without starting Ghidra
or IDA, on macOS, Windows or Linux.
🕵️ What does it hide?
detect_binary_toolchain, measure_binary_entropy, classify_import_capabilities,
identify_crypto_constants, extract_binary_strings, inspect_code_signature
and scan_embedded_content surface packing, high-entropy regions, imported
capabilities (network, process, crypto…), IOC strings, embedded files, and
whether a signature is real — reported as evidence and inference, never as a
verdict.
🔁 What changed?
compare_binaries diffs any two files byte-for-byte and explains the change
— which regions moved, what was zeroed or maxed out, the before/after values.
Works on app updates, drivers, firmware and ECU calibration dumps alike.
compare_executables adds import/export/section/hardening deltas for executables.

| File / section / block Shannon entropy + chi-square |
| Compiler, packer, installer, language (UPX, MSVC, PyInstaller, Go…) |
| ASCII/UTF-16 strings classified into IOCs (URL, IP, path, registry…) |
| AES S-box, SHA/MD5, CRC32, ChaCha, curve parameters… |
| Capabilities inferred from imports ("consistent with", never a verdict) |
| Byte / hex-wildcard / text / regex search, no provider needed |
| imphash, Rich hash, symhash, telfhash, ssdeep, TLSH |
| Authenticode + Mach-O code signature — on any host |
| binwalk-style embedded-file identification (offsets only) |
| CycloneDX / SPDX component inventory from embedded metadata |
| Function names from a stripped Go |
Every result separates observations, inferences and unknowns, carries file offsets, and states its limitations. Detection only — nothing is unpacked, decrypted, cracked or executed.
Quickstart
npx binsight triage-file /path/to/file --json
npx binsight compare-binaries /path/to/old /path/to/new --json
npx binsight generate-triage-report /path/to/file --jsonRegister BinSight as an MCP server for your AI agent, then just ask it in plain language ("what is this file, what does it hide, what changed?"):
npx binsight setupBinSight supports the same agents as REA — see supported agents; other clients can use manual MCP registration.
Verified against the reference tools
BinSight's parsers and hashes are checked against the tools analysts already
trust: imphash matches pefile byte-for-byte, structure matches LIEF /
readelf / otool, and hardening and packing results match checksec and
