Task fit
Best for	Connect compatible AI clients to Microsoft's documented MCP capabilities.	Querying decompilation, symbols, references, functions, and analysis state inside Ghidra
Not ideal for	Users who need a fully reviewed MCP100 recommendation today	Static analysis workflows that do not use Ghidra or do not need agent-driven interaction
Avoid when	Permissions, credentials, and connected data cannot be tested with least privilege	The analyzed binary or Ghidra project cannot be exposed to the connected AI client

Client coverage note	Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server.
Access and data
Authentication	Follow only the publisher source; credential storage, scopes, and revocation remain under review.	HTTP bearer authentication is optional through GHIDRA_MCP_AUTH_TOKEN; without it authentication is disabled. Non-loopback binding is refused without a token. Scripts require GHIDRA_MCP_ALLOW_SCRIPTS.
Cost	Publisher plans, API usage, infrastructure, or per-action charges may apply; MCP100 has not published a cost conclusion.	The Apache-2.0 project lists no MCP fee. Ghidra, Java, Maven, hosting, and shared-server costs are separate.
Permissions	Exact permissions and read/write boundaries have not completed MCP100 review.	Reads and writes binaries and projects, renames and types symbols, adds comments and structures, executes scripts, performs P-code emulation and debugging, and integrates with Ghidra Server.
Data handling	Candidate-specific retention, subprocess, telemetry, and model-data behavior remain review items.	Operates on local binaries and projects and optionally shared Ghidra Server data; decompilation, memory, debugger, and script results are returned through MCP. Telemetry and retention are not documented.
Limitations
Tradeoffs	Publisher attribution supports discovery, but does not replace an independent permissions and usability review.	It accelerates navigation and analysis, but agent actions can alter project state and reverse-engineering output still requires expert validation.
Risk context	Use a test account, least privilege, read-only controls where available, and explicit approval for mutations.	Write access, optional arbitrary Java scripts, debugger control, and shared-server access create substantial integrity and confidentiality risk. Prefer loopback, bearer auth, scopes, scripts disabled, and supervised writes.
