rev-symbol - Symbol Recovery

Analyze function code characteristics to recover/identify function symbols and names.

Pre-check

Determine which IDA access method is available:

Option A, IDA Pro MCP (preferred if connected): Check if the IDA Pro MCP server is connected (look for an active ida-pro or equivalent MCP connection). If connected, you can query IDA directly via MCP tools, no exported files needed. Proceed with the analysis using MCP.

Option B, IDA-NO-MCP exported data: If MCP is not connected, check if IDA-NO-MCP exported data exists in the current directory:

1. Check if decompile/ directory exists
2. Check if there are .c files inside

If neither MCP nor exported data is available, prompt the user:

No IDA access method detected. Choose one of the following:

Option A, IDA Pro MCP (recommended):
  Connect the IDA Pro MCP server so Claude can query IDA directly.

Option B, IDA-NO-MCP export:
  1. Download plugin: https://github.com/P4nda0s/IDA-NO-MCP
  2. Copy INP.py to IDA plugins directory
  3. Press Ctrl-Shift-E in IDA to export
  4. Open the exported directory with Claude Code

Each .c file contains function metadata comments and decompiled code:
