REA: Reverse Engineering via Model Context Protocol for AI Agents

Repositorymorluto/reaTool

REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) is an open-source MCP server that enables AI agents to inspect runtime behaviour, reverse engineer applications, and analyse native binaries.

Key points

  1. Connects AI coding agents to reverse engineering workflows using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
  2. Supports static and dynamic analysis from runtime application behaviour down to native binaries.
  3. Integrates with decompilers and disassemblers such as Hopper and Ghidra.
  4. Distributed via npm as rea-agents, requiring Node.js 22 or higher.
  5. Enables agents to inspect closed-source software features and reconstruct functional implementations.

Why it matters

Reverse engineering typically demands deep manual expertise in assembly and low-level tooling. Exposing decompilation and binary inspection tools via MCP allows AI agents to inspect binary logic autonomously, streamlining security research, interoperability tasks, and competitive analysis.

Analysis

The TypeScript project morluto/rea bridges the gap between AI developer agents (such as Claude Code) and low-level reverse engineering platforms like Ghidra and Hopper. It targets security analysts, CTF competitors, and engineers needing to dissect software without access to original source code. Garnering over 29,000 GitHub stars, comprehensive multi-language documentation, and packaged npm tooling, the project demonstrates high community adoption and solid maturity.
