概要
What is JADX-AI-MCP?
JADX-AI-MCP is a plugin for the JADX decompiler that integrates with Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable real-time reverse engineering of Android APKs using LLMs like Claude. It provides live “Decompile → Context-Aware Code Review → AI Recommendations” capability.
How to use JADX-AI-MCP?
Download both the jadx-ai-mcp-<version>.jar plugin and the jadx-mcp-server-<version>.zip from the releases page, then run the JADX-AI-MCP plugin inside JADX and the standalone JADX MCP Server to enable MCP tool communication.
Key features of JADX-AI-MCP
- Live reverse engineering with LLMs (e.g., Claude, any MCP-compatible model)
- 30+ MCP tools for code retrieval, analysis, and modification
- Cross-reference searching for classes, methods, and fields
- Real-time debugger interaction (stack frames, threads, variables)
- Android-specific capabilities: manifest, resources, strings, smali
- Rename classes, methods, fields, packages, and variables
Use cases of JADX-AI-MCP
- Code understanding and obfuscation detection in decompiled APKs
- Vulnerability detection and static analysis of Android apps
- AI-assisted reverse engineering and code refactoring
- Automated documentation generation and component identification
- Debugger-assisted execution flow and variable state analysis
FAQ from JADX-AI-MCP
What runtime dependencies does JADX-AI-MCP require?
Java 11+ and Python 3.10+ are required; the plugin runs inside JADX and the MCP Server is a Python process.
How does JADX-AI-MCP communicate with an LLM?
The JADX MCP Server (Python) receives MCP tool invocations from an LLM client, forwards them via HTTP to the JADX-AI-MCP plugin inside JADX, and returns the response.
Can JADX-AI-MCP modify decompiled code?
Yes. It includes tools to rename classes, methods, fields, packages, and variables within the JADX decompilation session.
What Android-specific data can it retrieve?
It can fetch AndroidManifest.xml content, strings.xml, resource file names and content, main activity class, application classes, and smali of any class.
