| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | The official server uses a Runway API key. | The documented default is stdio with the HTTP endpoints on 127.0.0.1. The publisher explicitly warns that binding the MCP server to 0.0.0.0 or another non-localhost address exposes plain HTTP with no authentication or TLS, allowing anyone on that network to invoke all tools. |
| Cost | The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply. | The publisher distributes the project under the Apache License 2.0 and lists no MCP server usage fee. JADX, local compute, the selected MCP client, and model-provider costs can still apply. |
| Permissions | Runway API credentials, model access, content policy, and account quotas govern generation. | The published tools can read decompiled code for classes and methods, smali, AndroidManifest.xml, string and resource files, cross-references, and debugger frames, threads, and variables from the project open in JADX. They can also rename classes, methods, fields, packages, and variables within the JADX analysis workspace. |
| Data handling | Authorized service data and tool results pass through the MCP server to the connected AI client. Review the publisher and client data policies before using sensitive ai & reasoning information. | The publisher's architecture sends tool requests from the LLM client through the Python MCP server over HTTP to the JADX-GUI plugin, then returns source, resource, manifest, and debugger data to the connected client. The reviewed README does not document telemetry, retention, or model-training use, so those behaviors remain unknown. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | The repository has a short history, no strong release track record, and requires source-based setup. Use a test environment where practical, least-privilege credentials, narrowly enabled tools, and explicit confirmation for mutations. MCP100 did not execute third-party server code during this documentation review. | This server exposes sensitive reverse-engineering material and mutation tools for the APK project open in JADX. Keep both connections on 127.0.0.1 and prefer stdio; if remote access is unavoidable, use a trusted isolated network plus firewall or SSH tunnel. Treat decompiled source, resources, manifests, and debugger values as potentially confidential, and review rename operations before saving or exporting analysis artifacts. |
