Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: pyghidra-mcp, ReVa, GhidrAssist, Binary Ninja's WARP, Gemini models for decompilation
Concerns raised: Reverse engineering may be illegal in many jurisdictions, LLM decompilation output often incomplete or silently drops sections, Gemini models produce incorrect pseudocode that seems plausible at first, 110+ tools creates context bloat without discovery layer, Plugin integration issues/visibility problems
Feature requests: Discovery/proxy layer to surface only relevant 5-10 tools per query, Legal warning system for users about jurisdiction-specific RE restrictions, Comparison benchmarks against other Ghidra MCP servers, Support for dynamic analysis skills integration, Better plugin visibility/integration documentation
