## Setup

## Setup

### Using uv (recommended)
When using [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) no specific installation is needed; use [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run *mcp-server-ida*.

### Using PIP
Alternatively install `mcp-server-ida` via pip:

```
pip install mcp-server-ida
```

After installation, run it as a script using:

```
python -m mcp_server_ida
```

### IDA-Side
Copy `repository/plugin/ida_mcp_server_plugin.py` and `repository/plugin/ida_mcp_server_plugin` directory into IDAs plugin directory:

Windows: `%APPDATA%\Hex-Rays\IDA Pro\plugins`

Linux/macOS: `$HOME/.idapro/plugins` eg: `~/.idapro/plugins`
