It's been a few years since I've rolled up my sleeves and did some reverse engineering with Ghirda. The skill is very "use it or lose it" so I wonder if this will help me get back into it quicker. Or... a ton of hallucinations leading down dead end rabbit holes.

Curious if anyone has given it a shot an can speak to the experience.

Thanks for the interest. I wrote GhidrAssistMCP and the original GhidrAssist plugin which work hand-in-hand because I find they improve my RE workflow. They're not immune from hallucinations because the underlying models are not. However, they are fairly rare and I have had very reliable results with both Claude and ChatGPT. When used together, GhidrAssist+GhidrAssistMCP have been able to do some impressive analysis tasks.

If you're just getting back in the saddle, you might want to give both a try. In particular, GhidrAssist's "Explain Function" tool is really helpful at quickly summarizing code and reducing the mental overhead of making sense of large binaries.

Why is this better than the other one?

GhidrAssistMCP features:

- several additional tools (like get_class_info, search_classes, etc),

- it has GUI config and logging,

- and it does not rely on an external Python bridge to host the MCP Server - it's monolithic (using the official MCP Java SDK).
