What is Ghidra MCP Zig Plugin?
The Ghidra MCP Zig Plugin is a tool that integrates Ghidra, a software reverse engineering framework, with a Zig-based MCP (Message Passing Concurrency) server. This allows for enhanced program analysis functionalities by leveraging the capabilities of both Ghidra and Zig.
How to use Ghidra MCP Zig Plugin?
To use the plugin, first build it using the provided make commands, ensuring that you have the necessary prerequisites (Zig, Ghidra, JDK, Go, Gradle). Then, copy the built plugin to your Ghidra plugins directory. After restarting Ghidra and opening a program for analysis, the plugin will be available in the Ghidra plugin manager, allowing you to use its features through the Ghidra interface. The MCP server must also be running.
