IDA-doc-hint-mcp

The IDA Pro MCP Documentation and Utilities project is designed to facilitate the use of IDA Pro with the Machine Code Processor (MCP). It is primarily a learning tool and is not intended for production use. The project requires an installation of IDA Pro and Python 3.8 or higher. It includes setup instructions for configuring the MCP server and troubleshooting common issues. The project is currently supported only on Windows systems, although it may work on other operating systems with some modifications. The server uses idalib, allowing for IDA Pro automation without opening the application, provided IDA 9.0 or later is used. The project aims to enhance the understanding of IDA Pro's API, aiding in the development of plugins and scripts.
