From the repository

Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, and install dependencies. Configure Claude Desktop’s MCP server to point to the Python executable and adapter script. Open Jadx with the plugin installed, load an APK or DEX file, then Claude will detect the tools. Optionally, specify the HTTP interface via jadx-gui -Pjadx-mcp.http-interface=http://localhost:8085.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

Output: plugin/build/libs/jadx-mcp-plugin-<version>.jar

Install the plugin JAR using the jadx plugins CLI:

bash
jadx plugins --install-jar path/to/jadx-mcp-plugin-<version>.jar

Alternatively, place the built .jar file into your Jadx plugins/ folder, typically located at: ~/.jadx/plugins/ If you place the JAR manually, you’ll also need to enable the plugin through the Jadx GUI or by running:

bash
jadx plugins --enable jadx-mcp

--- Python FastMCP Adapter The adapter file is:

fastmcp_adapter.py
```

It translates Claude’s MCP tool calls into HTTP POSTs to the running Jadx plugin server. Make sure Jadx is open before starting Claude.
