File contents

Guild Wars Ghidra MCP

Use the ghidra MCP tools for read-only reverse engineering against a recent Gw.exe.

Connect

At the start of each session:

Call ghidra_connect_instance with { "project": "gw" } before any other Ghidra tool.
Call ghidra_load_tool_group with { "group": "xref" } to enable decompilation, cross-references, and call graphs.
Call ghidra_list_open_programs and reuse the loaded Gw.<build>.exe program. If none is loaded, ask the user to upload a .gzf.

Constraints

list_instances returns both a local TCP instance and ghidra.gwtoolbox.com:13100. Use only the local TCP instance. The upstream repository entry is not MCP-routable and normally reports connected: false.
Keep all analysis read-only. The program is loaded in memory at /Untitled, outside a Ghidra project, so mutations fail or disappear on reload.
Do not import files. import_file requires Ghidra GUI mode; load_program is the headless equivalent for raw .exe and .gzf files.
Report findings in the response, issue, or pull request. Do not attempt to save them to Ghidra Server.

Useful Operations

Use ghidra_search_functions to find demangled function names.
Use ghidra_search_strings, then ghidra_get_xrefs_to, to find code referencing a string.
Use ghidra_decompile_function for pseudo-C.
Use ghidra_get_function_callers and ghidra_get_function_callees to traverse the call graph.
