About Frida MCP
Frida MCP is an MCP stdio server for the Frida dynamic instrumentation toolkit, letting AI systems work with mobile and desktop applications at the process, device and script level. It is built on the official MCP Python SDK and is intended for analysts doing dynamic analysis.
Key features
- 01List, attach, spawn, resume and kill processes
- 02Manage USB and remote devices
- 03Interactive JavaScript REPL
- 04Script injection with progress tracking
- 05Resources with Frida version and process or device lists
Use cases
- 01Dynamic analysis of applications from Claude Desktop
- 02Drafting Frida scripts with AI help and injecting them into a target process
MCP support
This project is an MCP server that exposes Frida process, device, REPL and script injection capabilities as tools to MCP clients, with resources and prompts for analysis workflows.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEFrida MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation for Frida dynamic instrumentation toolkit.
Overview
This package provides an MCP-compliant server for Frida, enabling AI systems to interact with mobile and desktop applications through Frida's dynamic instrumentation capabilities. It uses the official MCP Python SDK to enable seamless integration with AI applications.

Claude Desktop Integration
To use Frida MCP with Claude Desktop, you'll need to update your Claude configuration file:
-
Locate your Claude Desktop configuration file:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- macOS:
-
Add the following to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"frida": {
"command": "frida-mcp"
}
}
}

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
