Claude Desktop Integration

To use Frida MCP with Claude Desktop, you'll need to update your Claude configuration file:

  1. 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
  2. Add the following to your configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "frida": {
      "command": "frida-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once installed, you can use Frida MCP directly from Claude Desktop. The server provides the following capabilities:

Process Management

  • List all running processes
  • Attach to specific processes
  • Spawn new processes
  • Resume suspended processes
  • Kill processes

Device Management

  • List all connected devices (USB, remote)
  • Get device information
  • Connect to specific devices

Interactive JavaScript REPL

  • Create interactive sessions with processes
  • Execute JavaScript code in real-time
  • Monitor process state and memory
  • Hook functions and intercept calls
  • Capture console.log output
  • Handle errors and exceptions gracefully

Script Injection

  • Inject custom JavaScript scripts
  • Track injection progress
  • Handle script errors and exceptions

Resources

  • Get Frida version information
  • Access process list in human-readable format
  • Access device list in human-readable format

Development

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
