I was too stingy to pay $1499+ for a commercial Binary Ninja license and a pile of tokens that MCP waste every time I say “Hello!” to Claude. So I wrote my own MCP-like solution from scratch. Despite its name, HOBO BN MCP is not an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Instead, HOBO BN MCP runs inside Binary Ninja as a plugin and uses a simple JSON-over-HTTP protocol.

Key features:

• Any HTTP client. Works with curl, Python scripts, browsers, Postman, LLM agents — anything that speaks HTTP.
• Any Binary Ninja license. No headless ($1499+) license required.
• Zero dependencies. One .py file, no pip install required.
• Read + comment. Full read access to Binary Ninja’s analysis, plus the ability to set comments.

Meet HOBO BN MCP v1.1.0!
