IDA Pro MCP is a lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects IDA Pro to AI assistants for automated binary analysis and reverse engineering.

What It Does
1. Natural Language Queries: Allows AI clients (like Claude, Cursor, or Cline) to read and query IDA Pro databases.
2. Automated Actions: Enables AI assistants to retrieve function info, fetch disassembly, read pseudocode, and manage comments or variable names.
3. Vibe Reversing: Facilitates conversational, interactive binary analysis workflows directly from your code editor or chat interface.

Core Architecture
1. MCP Server: Runs locally via standard input/output (stdio) or HTTP/SSE transport to receive tool calls from your AI client.
2. IDA Plugin / Backend: Communicates with IDA Pro either through an active remote control HTTP plugin or headless idalib worker processes.
