Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when an MCP-compatible LLM client needs to communicate with JADX-AI Plugin for Android APK inspection, either on the same machine or across separately configured hosts.

Who it is for

  • Android developers who want an LLM client to inspect APKs through JADX.
  • Mobile-security practitioners building assistant-supported APK review workflows.
  • Developers integrating JADX-based analysis into an MCP client setup.

Documented uses

  • Connect an MCP client to JADX-AI Plugin.
  • Ask an LLM to help parse APK manifests and review applications for vulnerabilities.
  • Support reverse-engineering workflows and access APK files as resources.
  • Use documented JADX tools that allow an LLM to modify code in the analysis environment.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies the project as open source under the Apache-2.0 license. The README lists Python 3.10+ and Java 11+.

  • The server and JADX-AI Plugin are separate components, with independent host and port settings.
  • HTTP transport is an option; stdio is the default according to the CLI documentation.
  • The README warns that remote HTTP binding is unauthenticated and unencrypted, and recommends restricting network access or considering an SSH tunnel.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Connect a local MCP server to the JADX-AI plugin over HTTP

Start the MCP server on the same machine and connect it to a local JADX plugin.

Before you start

  • Python 3.10+
  • A running JADX-AI-MCP plugin on the same machine; the documented default plugin address is 127.0.0.1:8650.

Steps

  1. From the server project environment, start it with the command below.

    Documented command
    uv run jadx_mcp_server.py --http

  2. Connect an MCP client to the server at its documented default listener, 127.0.0.1:8651.

Expected outcome

The MCP server listens locally over HTTP and is configured to contact the JADX plugin at its default local address.

Guide limitations

  • HTTP on localhost is documented; non-localhost binding is unauthenticated and unencrypted, and should be limited to trusted, isolated networks.

Configure the MCP server for a remote JADX plugin

Run the MCP server locally while directing it to a JADX plugin on another machine.

Before you start

  • Python 3.10+
  • A reachable JADX-AI-MCP plugin host; the example uses 192.168.1.100 with the default plugin port 8650.

Steps

  1. Start the server with the command below.

    Documented command
    uv run jadx_mcp_server.py --http --jadx-host 192.168.1.100

  2. Connect an MCP client to the server's default listener, 127.0.0.1:8651.

Expected outcome

The MCP server listens on its default local address and targets the plugin host specified by `--jadx-host`.

Guide limitations

  • Requests to a non-localhost --jadx-host use unauthenticated HTTP; use only a trusted target.
