What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binsight": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "binsight",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add binsight -- npx -y binsight mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binsight": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "binsight",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "binsight": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "binsight",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is BinSight safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (6.6.0) reached the registry 20 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

BinSight

The AI X-ray for any file. Point it at a binary and ask: what is it, what does it hide, and what changed?

Offline · cross-platform · with evidence. It never runs the file.

Built on REA (morluto/rea) · MIT

Most files are black boxes: an .exe you downloaded, a firmware dump, a driver, a game, an ECU calibration, an app update. BinSight opens the box — statically, on your own machine, without ever running the file — and answers the three questions that matter, in plain language and with the evidence to back them up.

You: What is this file? Is it hiding anything? And what changed vs the old version?

BinSight: PE/Windows x64, compiled with MSVC, UPX-packed (entropy 7.9), imports consistent with network + process injection, Authenticode signature present, and vs the previous build 3 regions changed — here are the offsets. All static, all offline, with evidence.

The three questions

🔎 What is it?

triage_file and inspect_executable read ELF, PE/Windows and Mach-O (and raw blobs) and tell you the type, architecture, entry point, imports/exports, sections, hashes, and a compiler/packer fingerprint — without starting Ghidra or IDA, on macOS, Windows or Linux.

🕵️ What does it hide?

detect_binary_toolchain, measure_binary_entropy, classify_import_capabilities, identify_crypto_constants, extract_binary_strings, inspect_code_signature and scan_embedded_content surface packing, high-entropy regions, imported capabilities (network, process, crypto…), IOC strings, embedded files, and whether a signature is real — reported as evidence and inference, never as a verdict.

🔁 What changed?

compare_binaries diffs any two files byte-for-byte and explains the change — which regions moved, what was zeroed or maxed out, the before/after values. Works on app updates, drivers, firmware and ECU calibration dumps alike. compare_executables adds import/export/section/hardening deltas for executables.

All 17 tools

Tool	What it answers
`triage_file`	One call: type, hashes, structure, entropy, packing, capabilities, signature, strings, next steps
`generate_triage_report`	A shareable Markdown triage report
`compare_binaries`	Diff any two files and explain what changed (firmware, ECU dumps, updates)
`compare_executables`	Diff two executables: imports, exports, sections, hardening, entropy
`inspect_executable`	Sections, imports, exports, libraries, symbols, entry point, overlay — ELF/PE/Mach-O
`inspect_binary_hardening`	checksec for every OS: PIE, canary, NX, RELRO, CFG, ASLR, hardened runtime
`measure_binary_entropy`	File / section / block Shannon entropy + chi-square
`detect_binary_toolchain`	Compiler, packer, installer, language (UPX, MSVC, PyInstaller, Go…)
`extract_binary_strings`	ASCII/UTF-16 strings classified into IOCs (URL, IP, path, registry…)
`identify_crypto_constants`	AES S-box, SHA/MD5, CRC32, ChaCha, curve parameters…
`classify_import_capabilities`	Capabilities inferred from imports ("consistent with", never a verdict)
`scan_byte_patterns`	Byte / hex-wildcard / text / regex search, no provider needed
`compute_similarity_hashes`	imphash, Rich hash, symhash, telfhash, ssdeep, TLSH
`inspect_code_signature`	Authenticode + Mach-O code signature — on any host
`scan_embedded_content`	binwalk-style embedded-file identification (offsets only)
`generate_sbom`	CycloneDX / SPDX component inventory from embedded metadata
`recover_go_symbols`	Function names from a stripped Go `pclntab`

Every result separates observations, inferences and unknowns, carries file offsets, and states its limitations. Detection only — nothing is unpacked, decrypted, cracked or executed.

Quickstart

npx binsight triage-file /path/to/file --json

npx binsight compare-binaries /path/to/old /path/to/new --json npx binsight generate-triage-report /path/to/file --json

Register BinSight as an MCP server for your AI agent, then just ask it in plain language ("what is this file, what does it hide, what changed?"):

npx binsight setup

BinSight supports the same agents as REA — see supported agents; other clients can use manual MCP registration.

Verified against the reference tools

BinSight's parsers and hashes are checked against the tools analysts already trust: imphash matches `pefile` byte-for-byte, structure matches LIEF / readelf / otool, and hardening and packing results match checksec and Detect It Easy on a real corpus of ELF, PE and Mach-O binaries.

Built on REA

BinSight builds on REA and adds the static intelligence suite above. REA is MIT-licensed; this project keeps that license and attribution. This is not an official REA release — for REA itself, go to morluto/rea.
