ida-pro-mcp and ida-headless-mcp
These are complements: the IDA Pro MCP server (A) provides the LLM-facing interface and reverse engineering logic, while the headless variant (B) enables running that same analysis in non-GUI environments without display dependencies, allowing both interactive and automated pipeline integration.
About ida-pro-mcp
mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp
AI-powered reverse engineering assistant that bridges IDA Pro with language models through MCP.
This tool helps reverse engineers analyze compiled software more efficiently by integrating advanced AI assistance directly into IDA Pro. It takes raw binary executables and, with the help of a language model, generates improved code comments, renamed variables, corrected data types, and descriptive function names. Malware analysts, security researchers, and software vulnerability explorers are the primary users.

Headless IDA Pro binary analysis via Model Context Protocol
This project provides a way to automate and scale binary analysis using IDA Pro. It takes raw binary files, processes them in the background, and outputs structured analysis results like decompiled functions and symbols. This is for reverse engineers, security researchers, and malware analysts who need to programmatically interact with IDA Pro for large-scale or integrated workflows, rather than using its graphical interface directly.
