Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides tools for mobile security testing on Android devices, including app lifecycle management via ADB, memory manipulation, and Java hooking to monitor method calls and bypass security features like SSL pinning.

How do I use frida-mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@frida-mcp Search for 'crypto' classes in com.example.app and disable SSL pinning" 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.

frida-mcp

MCP server for Frida-based mobile security testing. Exposes Frida functionality as MCP tools for AI-assisted security research.

ADB access for Android devices
Rooted device (for most operations)

Install

cd frida-mcp
uv pip install -e .

Build the Frida agent (required):

cd agent
npm install
npm run build

Add to Claude Code

`disconnect`	Disconnect from the current session
`is_connected`	Check if Frida session is still alive and healthy
`list_sessions`	List all active Frida sessions (multi-device support)
`switch_session`	Switch to a different active session by ID

App Lifecycle (ADB-based)

Tool	Description
`get_pid`	Get PID of a running app by package name
`launch_app`	Launch app via ADB and return its PID
`stop_app`	Force stop an app by package name
`spawn_and_attach`	Force stop, launch fresh, and attach Frida in one step

Memory Operations

Tool	Description
`memory_list_modules`	List all loaded modules (libraries) in the process
`memory_list_exports`	List exports (functions) from a specific module
`memory_search`	Search process memory for hex pattern or string
`memory_read`	Read memory at a specific address
`memory_write`	Write bytes to memory address (for patching)
`get_module_base`	Get base address of a module by name (partial match)

Android Java Hooking

Tool	Description
`android_list_classes`	List loaded Java classes, optionally filtered
`android_list_methods`	List methods of a Java class
`android_hook_method`	Hook a Java method to monitor calls
`android_search_classes`	Search for classes matching a pattern
`android_ssl_pinning_disable`	Disable SSL certificate pinning
`android_get_current_activity`	Get the current foreground activity
`dump_class`	Dump all methods, fields, and constructors of a class
`heap_search`	Search Java heap for live instances of a class

Persistent Hooks

Tool	Description
`install_hook`	Install a persistent hook script that collects messages
`get_hook_messages`	Retrieve collected messages from persistent hooks
`clear_hook_messages`	Clear the hook message buffer
`uninstall_hooks`	Unload all persistent hook scripts
`list_hooks`	List all installed persistent hooks
`hook_native`	Hook a native function by module+offset

File Operations

Tool	Description
`file_ls`	List files in a directory on the device
`file_read`	Read a text file from the device
`file_download`	Download a file from device to local machine

Custom Scripting

Tool	Description
`run_script`	Execute custom Frida JavaScript code
`run_java`	Run JavaScript within Java.performNow context

Usage Example

1. list_devices          → Find your device
2. connect target=com.example.app spawn=true  → Attach to app
3. android_search_classes pattern=crypto      → Find crypto classes
4. android_hook_method class_name=... method_name=...  → Hook methods
5. get_hook_messages     → See captured calls

Notes

SELinux is automatically set to permissive mode when connecting (required for Frida injection on many devices)
The spawn=true option uses ADB-based launch which is more reliable than Frida's native spawn
Multi-session support allows attaching to multiple apps/devices simultaneously
