## What it is
An MCP server and IDA Pro plugin that connects IDA Pro's binary analysis capabilities to language models, enabling AI-assisted reverse engineering ('vibe reversing'). It exposes IDA functions like decompilation, disassembly, and renaming to MCP clients such as Claude, Cursor, and VS Code.

## Use cases
- analyze binaries with an LLM inside IDA Pro
- decompile and explain functions using Claude or other MCP clients
- automate reverse engineering tasks with AI agents
- rename variables and functions in IDA via natural language
- use MCP to bridge IDA Pro with language models
- reverse engineer malware with AI assistance

## When to choose
- you use IDA Pro 8.3+ (not IDA Free) and want LLM-assisted binary analysis
- you want an MCP server exposing IDA Pro functionality to AI coding assistants
- you want to speed up reverse engineering workflows with AI agents

## When to avoid
- you use IDA Free, which is not supported
- you don't have an MCP-compatible client or IDA Pro license
- you need fully automated static analysis without an LLM in the loop
