Field-by-field comparison

Compare the evidence before choosing an MCP.

Each signal stays separate, missing facts remain visible, and the column order follows your selection.

MCPs in this comparison

Uncheck an MCP to remove it. Comparing two or three keeps each signal in its own row.

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

Access and data
AuthenticationMicrosoft identity + tenant consent/admin consentHTTP 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.
CostMicrosoft 365/Work IQ licensing appliesThe Apache-2.0 project lists no MCP fee. Ghidra, Java, Maven, hosting, and shared-server costs are separate.
PermissionsMicrosoft 365 permission trimming/policy enforcementReads 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 handlingemails, meetings, docs, Teams, people and other tenant dataOperates 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 contextPermission trimming/policy enforcement + Microsoft security policy.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.
