Ghidra is the NSA Research Directorate’s software reverse-engineering framework: disassembly, decompilation, graphing and scripting (Java / Python via PyGhidra), interactive or headless, on Windows / macOS / Linux; agents usually drive it through MCP servers such as GhidraMCP. The README warns some versions have known vulnerabilities, so check the security advisories first.
Good for: Developers who want their agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor…) to understand codebases.
Not for: people who don’t want to install and run tools themselves.
01How to start
- 1Read the official README for requirements and permissions.
- 2Install it as the official guide describes.
- 3Tell your agent the command exists (e.g. in AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md) so it knows when to call it.
