It is designed for binary analysts and developers who want to interact with Binary Ninja through large language models.

How to use Another™ MCP Server for Binary Ninja?

Install as a Binary Ninja UI plugin via the plugin manager (auto-starts on first file load, configurable port). Or run in headless mode: uvx binaryninja-mcp install-api (once), then uvx binaryninja-mcp server <filename>....

FAQ from Another™ MCP Server for Binary Ninja

How do I install this server?

You can install it via Binary Ninja’s plugin manager (UI plugin) or use uvx binaryninja-mcp install-api once, then uvx binaryninja-mcp server <filename> for headless mode.

Can I change the default port?

Yes. Use the --port flag on both the server and client command lines (default is 7000) or configure the port in Binary Ninja Settings under “MCP Server – Server port number”.

What is the difference between UI plugin and headless mode?

The UI plugin auto‑starts when the first file is loaded and offers configurable auto‑start and port in Binary Ninja’s settings. Headless mode requires explicit file arguments and runs without a graphical interface.

What transport protocols are supported?

Both SSE (recommended for Cherry Studio) and stdio relay (for Claude Desktop) are supported.

Does the server require Binary Ninja to be installed?

Yes. Binary Ninja must be installed because the server uses the Binary Ninja API. The headless mode also requires prior installation of the API (install-api command).
