## Prerequisites
- IDA Pro 9.4 with valid license
## Getting Started
### Install
**macOS / Linux** (via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh))
```bash
brew install blacktop/tap/ida-mcp # Latest (IDA 9.4)
```
**macOS (Apple Silicon), older IDA releases** (via versioned Homebrew casks)
```bash
brew install blacktop/tap/[email protected] # IDA 9.3/9.3sp1
brew install blacktop/tap/[email protected] # IDA 9.2
```
**Windows** (via [Scoop](https://scoop.sh))
```powershell
scoop bucket add blacktop https://github.com/blacktop/scoop-bucket
scoop install blacktop/ida-mcp
```
> **Windows note:** See the [Windows platform setup](#windows) section below for DLL discovery options.
**macOS / Linux** (via [Nix](https://nixos.org))
```bash
nix shell github:blacktop/nur#ida-mcp \
--extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'
```
**Direct download** — grab the archive for your platform from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/blacktop/ida-mcp-rs/releases).
**Build from source**
See [docs/BUILDING.md](docs/BUILDING.md).
> ida-mcp versions mirror IDA Pro versions (`v9.4.x` for IDA 9.4, `v9.3.x` for IDA 9.3, and `v9.2.x` for IDA 9.2). A version mismatch is detected at startup with a clear error message. Scoop and NUR publish the latest version. For older IDA versions, use the matching [GitHub Release](https://github.com/blacktop/ida-mcp-rs/releases) or, on Apple Silicon, the versioned Homebrew cask.
### Platform Setup
#### macOS
Standard IDA installations in `/Applications` work automatically:
```bash
claude mcp add ida -- ida-mcp
```
If you see `Library not loaded: @rpath/libida.dylib`, set `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` to your IDA path:
```bash
claude mcp add ida -e DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH='/path/to/IDA.app/Contents/MacOS' -- ida-mcp
```
Supported paths (auto-detected):
- `/Applications/IDA Professional 9.4.app/Contents/MacOS`
- `/Applications/IDA Home 9.4.app/Contents/MacOS`
- `/Applications/IDA Essential 9.4.app/Contents/MacOS`
#### Linux
The IDA installer defaults to `~/ida-pro-9.4` — the launcher script auto-detects this:
```bash
claude mcp add ida -- ida-mcp
```
For non-default install locations, set `IDADIR`:
```bash
claude mcp add ida -e IDADIR='/path/to/ida' -- ida-mcp
```
Resolution order: `$IDADIR` → `~/ida-pro-9.4` → `/opt/ida-pro-9.4` and other RUNPATH fallbacks.
#### Windows
**Option A** — Install `ida-mcp.exe` into your IDA directory (simplest, no env setup needed):
```powershell
# Copy the binary next to ida.dll / idalib.dll
copy ida-mcp.exe "C:\Program Files\IDA Professional 9.4\"
claude mcp add ida -- "C:\Program Files\IDA Professional 9.4\ida-mcp.exe"
```
**Option B** — Install via [Scoop](https://scoop.sh) (auto-detects IDA and sets `IDADIR`):
```powershell
scoop bucket add blacktop https://github.com/blacktop/scoop-bucket
scoop install blacktop/ida-mcp
claude mcp add ida -- ida-mcp
```
**Option C** — Set `IDADIR` manually:
```powershell
$idaDir = "C:\Program Files\IDA Professional 9.4"
