ya-frida-mcp 0.2.2

Yet Another Frida MCP Server - Full-featured MCP server for Frida dynamic instrumentation

Yet Another Frida MCP Server — Full-featured MCP server for Frida dynamic instrumentation.

---

Existing Frida MCP servers on the market are either abandoned, poorly maintained, or limited to a handful of basic operations. ya-frida-mcp was built from scratch to be a comprehensive, production-ready bridge between AI agents and Frida — covering device management, process control, script injection, memory operations, and even ADB integration out of the box.

The vast majority of this codebase was written with the help of Claude. Huge thanks to Anthropic for making AI-assisted development a reality.

Features

40 MCP tools across 6 categories, all returning structured JSON for minimal token consumption.

Category	Tools	Highlights
Device	frida_ls_devices frida_get_device frida_add_remote frida_remove_remote	Local, USB, and remote device management
Process	frida_ps frida_spawn frida_attach frida_detach frida_kill frida_resume	Full process lifecycle control
App	frida_ls_apps frida_ls_apps_running	Application enumeration
Script	frida_inject frida_rpc_call frida_unload_script frida_get_messages frida_enumerate_modules frida_enumerate_exports	JS injection, RPC calls, module inspection
Memory	frida_memory_read frida_memory_write frida_memory_scan frida_memory_protect	Read/write/scan/protect with hex I/O
ADB (optional)	adb_shell adb_push adb_pull adb_install adb_logcat adb_forward adb_root ...	17 tools, auto-registered when adb is on PATH

Also includes:

• MCP Resources — live device list, session state, process/app enumeration as subscribable resources
• MCP Prompts — workflow templates for native hooking, Java/ObjC hooking, Stalker tracing, module dumping
• TOML Configuration — customize transport, default device, remote devices, timeouts
• CLI Utilities — doctor, devices, ps, ls, tools, install/uninstall for MCP clients
• One-command client setup — register into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code
• Structured output — all tools return compact JSON with Literal type hints for LLM-friendly schemas

Quickstart

Install

# PyPI (recommended)
pip install ya-frida-mcp

# Or via uv
uv tool install ya-frida-mcp

Register into your MCP client

# Claude Desktop
ya-frida-mcp install claude-desktop

# Claude Code
ya-frida-mcp install claude-code

# Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code
ya-frida-mcp install cursor
ya-frida-mcp install windsurf
ya-frida-mcp install vscode

# All at once
ya-frida-mcp install all

Start the server manually

# stdio (default, used by MCP clients)
ya-frida-mcp serve

# SSE transport
ya-frida-mcp serve -t sse -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8000

Configuration (optional)

ya-frida-mcp init-config   # generates config.toml in current directory
ya-frida-mcp show-config    # display resolved config
ya-frida-mcp -c /path/to/config.toml serve

# config.toml
[server]
name = "ya-frida-mcp"
transport = "stdio"       # "stdio" or "sse"
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 8000

[frida]
default_device = "local"  # "local", "usb", or device ID
script_timeout = 10
spawn_timeout = 15

[[frida.remote_devices]]
host = "192.168.1.100"
port = 27042

CLI Reference

ya-frida-mcp doctor       # diagnose Frida connectivity
