morluto/rea

REA is an MCP server and CLI that gives AI coding agents the ability to reverse engineer binaries, JavaScript apps, .NET assemblies, and websites. It hooks into Hopper, Ghidra, or IDA Pro for native binary work, or runs static JavaScript analysis with just Node.js. Every investigation returns an Evidence bundle that includes what was found, what was not, and the reasoning path. Setup registers REA with supported agents and walks you through connecting an analysis engine. The CLI also works standalone for terminal-first workflows.
