Could you build this?
Yes This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server wrapper written in Python or Java that exposes Ghidra's existing headless analysis scripts and API via standard MCP tool primitives.
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

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
