Quick answer

binary_ninja_mcp (fosdickio/binary_ninja_mcp) is a Binary Ninja plugin that hosts an MCP server for agent integrations. Release v1.2.1 (2026-03-22 UTC) is GPL-3.0. You still need a legally licensed Binary Ninja install that allows plugins.

Pick the bridge that matches the disassembler your org already standardized on — and that you can license.

  • Buy BN through binary.ninja/purchase. List prices move; BinBench pricing pages cite bands separately.
  • Personal edition is non-commercial per vendor terms — read them.
  • Cracked BN + MCP is not an authorized configuration.
Which to pick
  • Use BN MCP when agents must drive Binary Ninja you already license.
  • Prefer GhidraMCP/ida-pro-mcp/REA when your host tool differs.
  • Never equate “MCP works” with permission to analyze arbitrary third-party software.
