Headless IDA MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that uses IDA Pro’s headless mode (idat) to analyze binary files. It provides a suite of tools via MCP for managing and manipulating functions, variables, and more. It is intended for users who want to run IDA Pro analysis through an MCP client rather than interactively.
Install Python 3.12 or higher, IDA Pro with headless support, clone the repository, set up a virtual environment with uv, and install dependencies. Copy the .env_example to .env and configure IDA_PATH, PORT, HOST, and TRANSPORT (sse or stdio). Start the server with uv run headless_ida_mcp_server. Connect using an MCP client such as the Model Context Protocol Inspector or by adding a configuration block to your client.
Python 3.12 or higher and IDA Pro with headless support (idat). The headless-ida library is also used.
SSE and stdio, configured via the `TRANSPORT` environment variable in the `.env` file.
In the `.env` file under the `IDA_PATH` variable, for example `/home/ubuntu/idapro/idat`.
No, it runs independently as a CLI server that invokes IDA Pro in headless mode, rather than as an interactive plugin.
