Verdict

Pick IDA Pro MCP if you want a hosted/remote server with nothing to install, and you need the broadest set of tools.

Pick Repomix MCP Server if you want the official, vendor-maintained server, and you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option.

Add IDA Pro MCP

Install / run

pip install https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp/archive/refs/heads/main.zip && ida-pro-mcp --install

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ida-pro-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://127.0.0.1:13337/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
