Implementation Reference
- src/frida_mcp/cli.py:341-360 (handler)The @mcp.tool()-decorated function that implements attaching to a process by PID using Frida's device.attach(pid). Includes inline schema via Pydantic Field and handles device resolution and errors.
@mcp.tool() def attach_to_process( pid: int = Field(description="The ID of the process to attach to."), device_id: Optional[str] = Field( default=None, description="Optional ID of the device where the process is running. Uses smart selection when omitted.", ), ) -> dict: """Attach to a process by ID.""" try: device = _resolve_device_or_raise(device_id) device.attach(pid) return { "pid": pid, "success": True, "is_detached": False, # New session is not detached } except Exception as e: return {"success": False, "error": str(e)}
