frida-mcp

A simple MCP server exposing persistent, scriptable Frida dynamic instrumentation to an AI agent. Built for Windows reversing, malware/security analysis, and general dynamic debugging.

Install

pip install -e .

Requires Python 3.11+. Frida is the only runtime dependency.

Run

FRIDA_MCP_PROJECT=./mytarget.fmcp python -m frida_mcp

Register it with your MCP client (stdio transport). All state lands in the .fmcp project directory: db.sqlite (metadata) + traces/*.jsonl (events).

Capabilities

• Process control: spawn (gated), attach, resume, detach, kill, list modules.

• Memory: read, write, AOB/pattern scan, ranges.

• Hooks: add_hook, trace_api (e.g. kernel32!CreateFile*) with backtraces — all calls stream to disk.

• eval_js: run JS in a persistent in-process context; results come back as structured typed values you can feed straight into read_memory/disassemble.

• disassemble: read N instructions from live memory (Capstone).

• Persistence: list_sessions / resume_session re-attach and reinstall hooks if the target is alive, or tell you to re-spawn if it died. Events, REPL history, and notes survive restarts.

Deep static analysis (xrefs, function boundaries, decompilation) is out of scope — use an IDA or x64dbg MCP for that.

Tests

pytest                       # unit tests (no target needed)
pytest -m live               # integration tests (attach to a real process)
