This MCP server allows Cline to analyze binaries using Binary Ninja functionality. It works as a bridge between Cline and Binary Ninja, enabling you to leverage Binary Ninja's analysis capabilities within the Cline environment.
Before setting up the server, ensure you have:
python binary_ninja_mcp_http_server.py --port 8088
npm start
After setting up the servers, you need to configure Cline to use the MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"BN MCP": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/home/matteius/binary_ninja_cline/bn_cline_mcp/binaryninja-mcp-bridge.js"],
"env": {
"BN_HTTP_SERVER": "http://localhost:8088"
},
"autoApprove": [],
"disabled": false,
"timeout": 30
}
}
}
command
: The command to run (Node.js in this case)args
: Path to the MCP bridge JavaScript fileenv
: Environment variables, including the HTTP server addresstimeout
: Maximum time in seconds to wait for a responsedisabled
: Set to true
to temporarily disable the serverMake sure to adjust the path in the args
field to match your actual installation location.
Once configured, you can use Binary Ninja's analysis capabilities through Cline. The MCP server will handle communication between Cline and Binary Ninja, allowing you to analyze binaries more effectively.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json
file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-rules-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"cursor-rules-mcp"
]
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json
file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
