Reversecore MCP
AI-Powered Reverse Engineering & Security Analysis via Model Context Protocol. Its 40 documented tools cover analysis, generate, binary, diff. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting security tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Reversecore MCP
before you install - you'll need
Set REVERSECORE_WORKSPACE, MCP_TRANSPORT before connecting.

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · container (OCI image) - can be sandboxed away from your filesystem
license MIT - declared in the repository
pypi package reversecore-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.sjkim1127 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 · What Reversecore MCP can do
Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.
What you can build
With this server connected, an agent can extract embedded files discovered by binwalk, generate binary signatures for identification, scan binary for embedded version strings, and extract C++ RTTI (Run-Time Type Information).

06 · Reversecore MCP FAQ
Is Reversecore MCP still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-24 and it shipped 5 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
What can Reversecore MCP do?
With this server connected, an agent can extract embedded files discovered by binwalk, generate binary signatures for identification, scan binary for embedded version strings, and extract C++ RTTI (Run-Time Type Information).
How do I install Reversecore MCP?
Run `uvx reversecore-mcp`. The README documents 2 environment variables (REVERSECORE_WORKSPACE, MCP_TRANSPORT) to set first. Set REVERSECORE_WORKSPACE, MCP_TRANSPORT before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Reversecore MCP run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
