dsh-rea

REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) inside DSH - 170 reverse-engineering tools as mcp__rea__*, served by a local stdio MCP process.

REA is a local MCP server and CLI that wraps the reverse-engineering engines you already have (Ghidra, Hopper, IDA, JEB, JADX, adb, mitmproxy, Chrome) behind one tool surface. This bundle does not reimplement any of that: it installs the rea-agents package and mounts the official DSH MCP client against REA's own stdio entry point.

mcp__rea__*

Your machine

Binaries are never uploaded. The REA process runs locally; what reaches the agent's context is its findings, with REA's own evidence contract attached (evidence ids, capture tool, coverage, and explicit unknowns, so "not found" is never reported as "does not exist").

Install

dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add https://github.com/xingruochun/dsh-rea

Or, in the DSH desktop app: 插件 -> 添加插件, then paste https://github.com/xingruochun/dsh-rea (a Git address is accepted directly - this plugin does not need to be in the curated marketplace).

Restart DSH afterwards. The plugin page says so itself: "已安装,下次启动后加载。"

The install pulls rea-agents from npm automatically. REA ships a prebuilt dist/, so no build script needs to be allowed.

Ghidra (optional)

REA's Ghidra backend needs a local Ghidra install. Without it you still get the other engines; Ghidra-backed operations simply report as unavailable.

If you have Ghidra, export the two variables before starting DSH - the bundle passes them through to the MCP process only when they are already defined:

GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=<absolute path to your Ghidra install>
JAVA_HOME=<absolute path to a JDK 21+ root>

Verified combination: Ghidra 12.1.4 + JDK 25 (Microsoft OpenJDK), Windows x64.

Requirements

  • Node.js 20+ (DSH's own runtime qualifies - it reports Node 24.18.1)

  • Windows, macOS or Linux. The bundle computes the interpreter and REA's entry point at runtime, so nothing is tied to one machine's paths.

Configuration

The bundle mounts one row. A profile can override any of its fields:

Field

Default

Meaning

serverName

rea

Tool namespace: mcp__rea__<tool>

toolCallTimeoutMs

300000

Per-call timeout; long analyses need the headroom

failOnStartupError

false

Keep false: an unreachable REA degrades to a missing tool set instead of failing profile startup

command

the host's own interpreter

Override only for an unusual node installation

reaEntry

resolved from rea-agents

Override to point at a specific REA checkout

reaArgs

["--mcp"]

Arguments for REA's entry point

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> remove dsh-rea

    Enables agents to take software apart over MCP — native binaries, Go/Rust/.NET assemblies, WASM and EVM bytecode, Android and Flutter apps, firmware, databases, crashes and network captures — returning findings backed by code, references and explicit unknowns. Drives deep-analysis engines such as Hopper, Ghidra, IDA, JADX and Frida entirely locally, letting agents explain behavior or rebuild a feature in your own project.
