Reversecore MCP runs on FastMCP and bundles tools for low-level security analysis. It exposes engines like Radare2, r2ghidra, Volatility3, Scapy, and YARA directly to your client. You can inspect compiled binaries, dissect network packet dumps, and run static source audits without typing manual terminal commands.
The server organizes 177 analysis tools, 22 structured workflows, and 11 dynamic URI resources. It manages Radare2 instances through a thread-safe connection pool. Findings survive across agent sessions by saving data into an async SQLite database.
Running the server requires Python 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12. The symbolic analysis engine angr installs exclusively on Python 3.12, so setups on Python 3.10 and 3.11 omit that module.
What it helps with
- decompile binary functions using r2ghidra
- extract indicators of compromise from suspicious binaries
- inspect memory dumps via Volatility3
- map discovered software behaviors to MITRE ATT&CK
- audit C and C++ source code with regex patterns
Example prompts for the agent
- Decompile the main function of sample.exe and extract its network IOCs.
- Scan firmware.bin using binwalk and flag matching YARA rules.
- Analyze the traffic.pcap capture with Scapy to list outbound connections.
