🤖 What is JADX-MCP-SERVER?

JADX MCP Server is a standalone Python server that interacts with a modified version of jadx-gui (see: jadx-ai-mcp) via MCP (Model Context Protocol). It lets LLMs communicate with the decompiled Android app context live.

🤖 What is JADX-AI-MCP?

JADX-AI-MCP is a plugin for the JADX decompiler that integrates directly with Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide live reverse engineering support with LLMs like Claude.

Think: "Decompile → Context-Aware Code Review → AI Recommendations" — all in real time.

  • get_methods_of_class() — List methods in a class
  • get_fields_of_class() — List fields in a class
  • get_smali_of_class() — Fetch smali of class
  • get_main_activity_class() — Fetch main activity from jadx mentioned in AndroidManifest.xml file.
  • get_main_application_classes_code() — Fetch all the main application classes' code based on the package name defined in the AndroidManifest.xml.
  • get_main_application_classes_names() — Fetch all the main application classes' names based on the package name defined in the AndroidManifest.xml.
  • get_android_manifest() — Retrieve and return the AndroidManifest.xml content.
  • get_strings() : Fetches the strings.xml file
  • get_all_resource_file_names() : Retrieve all resource files names that exists in application
  • get_resource_file() : Retrieve resource file content
  • rename_variable() : Renames the variable within a method
  • debug_get_stack_frames() : Get the stack frames from jadx debugger
  • debug_get_threads() : Get the insights of threads from jadx debugger
  • debug_get_variables() : Get the variables from jadx debugger
  • xrefs_to_class() : Find all references to a class (returns method-level and class-level references, supports pagination)
  • xrefs_to_method() : Find all references to a method (includes override-related methods, supports pagination)
  • xrefs_to_field() : Find all references to a field (returns methods that access the field, supports pagination)

Note: Tested on Claude Desktop. Support for other LLMs might be tested in future.

🛣️ Future Roadmap

  • Add Support for apktool

  • Add support for hermes code (ReactNative Application)

  • Add docker support

  • Add more useful MCP Tools

  • Make LLM be able to modify code on JADX

  • Add prompts templates, give llm access to Android APK Files as Resources

  • Build MCP Client to support Local LLM

  • END-GOAL : Make all android reverse engineering and APK modification tools Connect with single MCP server to make reverse engineering apk files as easy as possible purely from vibes.

🙏 Credits

This project is a plugin for JADX, an amazing open-source Android decompiler created and maintained by @skylot. All core decompilation logic belongs to them. I have only extended it to support my MCP server with AI capabilities.

📎 Original README (JADX)

The original README.md from jadx is included here in this repository for reference and credit.

This MCP server is made possible by the extensibility of JADX-GUI and the amazing Android reverse engineering community.

Also huge thanks to @aaddrick for developing Claude desktop for Debian based linux.

And in last thanks to @anthropics for developing the Model Context Protocol and @FastMCP team

And all open source maintainers and contributors that makes libraries and dependencies which allows project like this possible.
