| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | 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. | None. |
| Cost | 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. | The ecosystem-official reference package is MIT licensed and has no service fee. Model tokens, local compute, and MCP-host costs remain. |
| Permissions | 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. | No external service scopes are required. The local process receives thought text and reasoning metadata from the MCP host and returns structured reasoning state. |
| Data handling | 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. | Reasoning text is processed by the local stdio server. The connected MCP host, model provider, and their logs may still transmit or retain tool arguments according to their own policies. Thought logging can be disabled with DISABLE_THOUGHT_LOGGING=true. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | 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. | System permissions are low, but prompts and reasoning can contain secrets and repeated calls can increase token cost. Keep sensitive material out of thought text, disable thought logging where appropriate, and use an approved package version. |
