## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- [Ghidra 12.0.1](https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/releases)
- [JDK 21](https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/21/)
- Python 3.8+
- [MCP SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk)

### Installation

1. **Download** the latest release: `GhidraMCP-2.0-ghidra12.zip`

2. **Install in Ghidra**:
   ```
   File → Install Extensions → + → Select GhidraMCP-2.0-ghidra12.zip
   ```

3. **Restart Ghidra**

4. **Enable the Plugin**:
   ```
   File → Configure → Developer → Enable GhidraMCPPlugin
   ```

5. **Install Python Dependencies**:
   ```bash
   pip install mcp modelcontextprotocol
   ```

### Configure Claude Desktop

Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghidra": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/bridge_mcp_ghidra.py",
        "--ghidra-server",
        "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Configure Cline (VS Code)

1. Start the MCP server:
   ```bash
   python bridge_mcp_ghidra.py --transport sse --mcp-host 127.0.0.1 --mcp-port 8081
   ```

2. In Cline, add Remote Server:
   - Name: `GhidraMCP`
   - URL: `http://127.0.0.1:8081/sse`

## Building from Source

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/GhidraMCP-12.git
cd GhidraMCP-12

# Copy JARs from your Ghidra 12 installation
cp /Applications/Ghidra/Ghidra/Framework/Generic/lib/Generic.jar lib/
cp /Applications/Ghidra/Ghidra/Framework/SoftwareModeling/lib/SoftwareModeling.jar lib/
cp /Applications/Ghidra/Ghidra/Framework/Project/lib/Project.jar lib/
cp /Applications/Ghidra/Ghidra/Framework/Docking/lib/Docking.jar lib/
cp /Applications/Ghidra/Ghidra/Features/Decompiler/lib/Decompiler.jar lib/
cp /Applications/Ghidra/Ghidra/Framework/Utility/lib/Utility.jar lib/
cp /Applications/Ghidra/Ghidra/Features/Base/lib/Base.jar lib/
cp /Applications/Ghidra/Ghidra/Framework/Gui/lib/Gui.jar lib/

# Build
mvn clean package

# Output: target/GhidraMCP-2.0-ghidra12.zip
```

## Troubleshooting

### "No context found for request" (404 Error)

1. Make sure Ghidra is running with a program loaded
2. Verify the plugin is enabled in File → Configure → Developer
3. Check the port matches between Ghidra and the bridge script

### Plugin Not Appearing

1. Verify you're using Ghidra 12.0.1
2. Check File → Install Extensions shows GhidraMCP as installed
3. Restart Ghidra completely after installation

### Build Errors

If you see "Source option X is no longer supported":
- Ensure you're using this fork's `pom.xml` with JDK 21 configuration
- Verify `JAVA_HOME` points to JDK 21
