JS Reverse MCP

JS Reverse MCP

English | 中文

Pro fork: Derived from zhizhuodemao/js-reverse-mcp (Patchright stealth core preserved) and selectively ports capabilities from NoOne-hub/JSReverser-MCP — hook framework, static deobfuscation, AI analysis, session snapshots, artifacts, case library. See LICENSE (Apache-2.0) and LICENSE.JSReverser-MCP (MIT, NoOne-hub).

A JavaScript reverse engineering MCP server that enables AI coding assistants (Claude, Cursor, Codex) to debug and analyze JavaScript code in web pages.

Built on the Patchright anti-detection engine with multi-layered anti-bot bypass capabilities, allowing it to work on sites with bot detection such as Zhihu and Google.

Features

From upstream (preserved)

  • Anti-detection browser — Patchright (Playwright anti-detection fork), 60+ stealth launch arguments

  • Script analysis — list / search / get / save sources

  • Breakpoint debuggingset_breakpoint_on_text, break_on_xhr, step, get_paused_info

  • Function tracingtrace_function (logpoint mode, doesn't pause)

  • Network & WebSocket — request initiator stacks, WS message analysis

  • inject_before_load — CDP Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument

Pro fork additions

  • Hook framework — 5 built-in templates (function/crypto/network/encoding/storage), CDP injection + Symbol-keyed sink + CDP Runtime.evaluate drain; survives navigation

  • Static deobfuscationdeobfuscate_code (Babel fast: string-array inline, constant fold, dead branch, _0xabcd rename, bracket→dot; optional webcrack deep)

  • Code collectioncollect_code (scans for sign/encrypt/hmac etc. + AST heuristic ranking)

  • AI assist (default OFF) — understand_code / risk_panel, OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini, dynamic-imported

  • Session snapshotssave/restore/dump/load_session_state, AES-256-GCM round-trip

  • Artifacts tasksstart_reverse_task / record_evidence / export_replay_bundle / export_portable_bundle, shareable .jrmcp.json bundles plus single-file portable / replay JS extraction

  • Two-layer stealth--cloak opts into CloakBrowser source-level fingerprint patches (canvas / WebGL / audio / GPU); --legacyStealth is the explicit fork-default fallback that keeps the original stealth-args path

  • Tool profile gating--toolProfile kernel|compact|full (default kernel); restart with compact for broader workflow controls, full to expose every tool

  • Browser state resetclear_site_data clears cookies, HTTP cache, persistent storage, and sessionStorage for the current page's HTTP(S) frame origins without reloading

  • Network exportexport_network_request writes captured request / response bytes, query params, or a metadata bundle to disk (and into the active task's evidence/ directory when taskId is set)

  • Local-file input for evaluate_script — pipe local files into in-page evaluation for replay and fixture-driven runs

Anti-Detection

Two coexisting stealth layers, selectable per launch:

  • Legacy stealth-args path (fork default; also gated by --legacyStealth): Patchright + 60+ stealth launch arguments. Matches behavior before --cloak existed.

  • Cloak path (--cloak): CloakBrowser stealth-patched Chromium with source-level fingerprint patches (canvas / WebGL / audio / GPU). Binary auto-downloads (~200MB) on first use; identity is persisted per profile in <profile>/.cloak-seed. Conflicts with --browserUrl, --wsEndpoint, --executablePath, --channel.

Layer

Description

Patchright Engine

C++ level patches, removes navigator.webdriver, avoids Runtime.enable leaks

60+ Stealth Args

Removes automation signatures, bypasses headless detection, GPU/network/behavior fingerprint spoofing

Harmful Args Removal

Excludes --enable-automation and 4 other default Playwright arguments

Silent CDP Navigation

Navigation tools don't activate CDP domains, captures requests only through Playwright-level listeners

Google Referer Spoofing

All navigations automatically include referer: https://www.google.com/

Persistent Login State

Uses persistent user-data-dir by default, login state preserved across sessions

Cloak source patches

--cloak only: canvas / WebGL / audio / GPU fingerprint patches applied inside the Chromium build

Hook framework stealth discipline (Pro fork)

The 18 new tools follow strict stealth rules:

  • Injection path: CDP Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument (same channel as upstream inject_before_load); no Playwright addInitScript / exposeBinding

  • Data sink: globalThis[Symbol.for('__jr_sink')] array + CDP Runtime.evaluate drain; no fixed string-named property on window, no console pollution

  • Function.prototype.toString self-cloaking: a stealth shim uses WeakMap<wrapped, orig> so Function.prototype.toString.call(fetch) returns function fetch() { [native code] }; the patched toString itself is registered, so Function.prototype.toString.toString() is also native

  • storage template cookie option default OFF: Object.defineProperty(document, 'cookie') leaves a non-native descriptor that advanced fingerprinters can detect

  • AI default OFF: only loads when --enableAI and the matching API key are both set; OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini SDKs are dynamic-imported

See src/hooks/stealth-shim.ts header comment and the automated test tests/phase-b-smoke.mjs.

Example configurations

Full setup (AI + enhanced stealth):

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... node build/src/index.js \
  --browserUrl=http://localhost:9222 \
  --enableAI --llmProvider=openai \
  --blockWebrtc \
  --artifactsDir=./my-tasks

Isolated (no persistent login, fresh each time):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "js-reverse-pro": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/ABS/PATH/build/src/index.js", "--isolated"]
    }
  }
}

Connect to running Chrome

Launch Chrome (close all Chrome windows first):

Windows

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir="%TEMP%\chrome-debug"

macOS

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-debug

Then connect with --browserUrl=http://127.0.0.1:9222.

Workflow Cases

See scripts/cases/ for end-to-end workflows:

General workflow:

1. start_reverse_task creates a task
2. new_page to target site → list_network_requests to find signed requests
3. get_request_initiator to inspect call stack
4. create_hook(network, urlPattern=...) + inject_hook
5. trigger requests → get_hook_data for context
6. create_hook(crypto) + inject_hook → see which algorithms run
7. get_script_source for the chunk → deobfuscate_code(level=deep)
8. collect_code on deobfuscated source to locate the sign function
9. understand_code (optional) lets the LLM explain it
10. record_evidence per finding
11. export_replay_bundle (shareable `.jrmcp.json`) or export_portable_bundle (single-file `run/portable.js` / `run/replay.js`)

Troubleshooting

Blocked by anti-bot systems

If you are blocked when visiting certain sites (e.g. Zhihu returning error 40362):

  1. Clear the contaminated profile: delete ~/.cache/chrome-devtools-mcp/chrome-profile

  2. Use isolated mode: add --isolated

  3. Enable Canvas noise: add --hideCanvas

Hook captures no events

  1. Confirm inject_hook returned INJECTED (use list_hooks)

  2. Confirm rendered hook source has no syntax errors (start with --logFile)

  3. Re-injecting the same hook on a loaded page nests the wrap; clear_hook(hookId) first or reload

deobfuscate_code level=deep complains about webcrack

webcrack is an optional dependency that itself requires @babel/core. This fork already promotes @babel/core to dependencies; if it still complains, run npm install to refresh.
