Cursor is an AI-focused code editor whose Agent can inspect a codebase, edit multiple files, and run commands for development tasks.
Tool overview
REA
REA connects coding agents to reverse engineering tools for inspecting software behavior, binaries, and applications.
What is REA?
REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) gives coding agents tools to inspect software and explain how it works. Its MCP integration supports investigations of native binaries, JavaScript and Electron applications, .NET assemblies, websites, and runtime behavior. Analysis runs locally and can return evidence for an agent to explain or help reconstruct a feature. Native analysis may require a separately installed Hopper, Ghidra, or IDA engine; static JavaScript and .NET analysis do not require one. Users should only analyze software they are authorized to inspect.

Frequently asked questions about REA
Does REA require a native decompiler?
Deep native analysis uses Hopper, Ghidra, or IDA. The project says static JavaScript and .NET inspection work without a native analysis engine.
