You run a lightweight MCP server that bridges Claude Desktop with JEB decompiler for Android APK analysis. This setup lets you perform AI-assisted reverse engineering tasks directly from Claude, including decompilation, code navigation, batch renaming, and resource analysis, all through natural language prompts.

How to use

Connect Claude Desktop to the JEB MCP Server to start analyzing APKs with natural language prompts. You will interact through Claude to request actions like decompiling methods, listing classes, tracing references, renaming elements in bulk, and inspecting Android resources. The server exposes these capabilities via MCP tools that you call from Claude.

How to install

Prerequisites you need on your machine before starting:

JEB Decompiler (licensed)
Claude Desktop
Python 3 installed on your system for running the MCP bridge script.

Additional setup steps

Follow these concrete steps to complete the setup and start the MCP server.

Configuration and usage notes

The MCP server operates as a local stdio server. You start it by launching the bridge script which connects Claude Desktop to the JEB server inside JEB.

Troubleshooting

If Claude cannot reach the MCP server, verify that the bridge script is running and that JEB is loaded with a target APK. Ensure port usage and firewall settings permit local stdio communication.
