pcmhack-mcp

pcmhack-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hjtrbo/PcmHackMCP. It costs 129 tokens per session (2,376 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for using PcmHackMCP to run complete Jython 2.7 scripts inside a live Ghidra session. Ghidra is a tool for examining and reverse-engineering compiled programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when sending Python-like Jython scripts to Ghidra through the run_python tool or its HTTP endpoint, especially for non-trivial analysis or edits.
Why use it?
They explain the script format, output rules, imports, and transaction behavior that can otherwise cause confusing results or accidentally saved changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pcmhack-mcp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

PcmHackMCP run_python - the things that bite

run_python ships a whole Jython 2.7 script to a live Ghidra session and runs it as a GhidraScript in one call, returning only what the script prints. Same interpreter and same Ghidra API as ghidra_bridge, but the transport and a few rules are different.

If you forget everything else:

  1. It's Jython 2.7 + the Ghidra Flat API. Every Jython/API gotcha from the ghidra-bridge skill applies to the script you send. The critical three are inlined below; the full trap shelf + API method-name table live in that skill (Nathan: ~/.claude/skills/ghidra-bridge/SKILL.md) - read it for anything non-trivial.
  2. Send one complete script; print what you want back. No return value crosses the wire - only stdout/stderr. Emit results with print(json.dumps(...)).
  3. The transaction is automatic - and commits even on error. Don't open one. But guard each row (bare except:), because work done before an uncaught exception is saved, not rolled back.
  4. Imports work directly. from ghidra.program.model.symbol import SourceType just works - you are already server-side. There is no remote_eval, remote_exec, or remote_import here.

The dedicated tools can overflow - page, filter, or summarize

run_python is the bulk workhorse, but the same MCP server also exposes dedicated listing tools (list_functions, list_data_items, list_strings, list_segments, ...). The trap: a whole-program listing can return thousands of rows and blow the single tool-response limit. A typical automotive ECU image has many thousands of functions and tens of thousands of data items, so an unfiltered list_functions or list_data_items will overflow in one shot.

When you need a slice, do not dump the whole list:

  • Use the tool's own paging/filter args, or search_functions_by_name for a targeted lookup.
  • For counts, scans, or aggregates over the whole program, push the work into run_python and print only the count plus a bounded sample - never round-trip thousands of rows just to filter them client-side.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
