REA

What it actually does

Found a feature in an app you want to understand, or just steal the approach for your own project? REA connects your coding agent to real reverse-engineering tools: disassembling native binaries, tracing Electron and JavaScript apps, decompiling Android APKs, inspecting websites and network traffic, and more. Your agent calls REA over MCP, inspects the actual code behind the feature, and comes back with real evidence instead of a guess, something it can then use to explain how the feature works or build your own version of it.

Why it's worth your time

• Point it at a native binary, an Electron app, an Android APK, or a website, and it traces the real code behind a feature instead of guessing from the UI.
• Covers 20+ target types: native binaries, Go and Rust binaries, WASM, .NET assemblies, Android APKs and devices, firmware, packet captures, and more.
• Every finding ships with its own evidence and stated limitations. Your agent tells you what it found and how sure it actually is, not just an answer.
• Installs as an MCP server straight into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok Build, and other agents, so it runs inside tools you're already using.
• Native binary analysis can lean on an existing Hopper, Ghidra, or IDA install. Static JavaScript analysis needs none of that.
• Already past 294,000 GitHub stars and trending on Trendshift, with real published case studies: one reconstructs a 1996 DOS game's bullet-ring math down to the exact compiled bytes.
