Environmental preparation and system requirements
Deploying GhidraMCP requires building a complete technology stack:
- basic software: The official NSA release of Ghidra (version 10.3+ recommended) must be pre-installed and available from its official website. A Python 3.8+ runtime environment is also required to support script execution.
- Hardware configuration: 8GB+ RAM configuration recommended, sufficient computing resources needed for AI analysis when processing complex binary files
- plug-in assembly: The GhidraMCP ZIP package downloaded from the GitHub repository should contain:
- Main plug-in module (.zip format)
- bridge_mcp_ghidra.py bridge scripts
Special note: Windows users need to make sure that Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is installed, some Python dependencies may require this runtime library.
