Implementation Reference
- index.ts:679-710 (handler)The main handler for the 'get_exports' MCP tool. Validates input arguments, calls ida.getExports() to fetch exports, formats the response as text content with JSON-stringified exports list, or returns an error.
case 'get_exports': if (!isValidGetExportsArgs(request.params.arguments)) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'Invalid get exports arguments' ); } try { const result = await ida.getExports(); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Retrieved ${result.count} exports from the binary:\n\n${JSON.stringify(result.exports, null, 2) }`, }, ], }; } catch (error: any) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error getting exports: ${error.message || error}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } - index.ts:341-349 (registration)Tool registration in the ListToolsRequestHandler. Defines the tool name 'get_exports', its description, and empty input JSON schema (no parameters required).
{ name: 'get_exports', description: 'Get list of exports from the binary', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, required: [], }, }, - index.ts:81-83 (schema)TypeScript interface for GetExportsArgs, indicating no parameters are required for the tool.
interface GetExportsArgs { // No parameters required } - index.ts:160-165 (schema)Type guard function to validate input arguments conform to GetExportsArgs (non-null object).
const isValidGetExportsArgs = (args: any): args is GetExportsArgs => { return ( typeof args === 'object' && args !== null ); }; - idaremoteclient.ts:310-312 (helper)Core helper method in IDARemoteClient that implements getExports by making a GET request to the IDA Pro remote API endpoint '/exports', returning ExportsResponse.
async getExports(): Promise<ExportsResponse> { return this.get<ExportsResponse>('/exports'); }
