hexforge-gateway
Self-hosted reverse-engineering workspace API — orchestrates jadx/apktool/adb/frida/APKiD via a job & workflow engine, exposed as native MCP tools for Claude. No cloud required.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
decompile_apkDecompile an APK to readable Java-like source with jadx. Requires jadx on PATH.
decode_apkDecode an APK's resources to editable XML and disassemble code to smali with apktool (unlike jadx, the result can be rebuilt). Requires apktool on PATH.
build_apkRebuild an APK from an apktool-decoded (and possibly edited) project directory. The result is unsigned - sign it separately before installing. Requires apktool on PATH.
identify_packerFingerprint the compiler, packer, obfuscator, and anti-debug/anti-VM techniques used in an APK, via APKiD's YARA rules. Requires apkid on PATH (pip install apkid).
scan_secretsRecursively scan a directory (e.g. jadx/apktool output) for likely hardcoded secrets - AWS/Google API keys, private key headers, Slack/GitHub tokens, JWTs. A curated high-precision starting set, not exhaustive - not a replacement for a maintained secret-scanner on anything that actually matters.
search_codeSearch a directory tree for a regex pattern - e.g. permission strings in decompiled output.
read_fileRead a file's contents.
list_filesList a directory's contents.
adb_devicesList connected Android devices/emulators. Requires adb on PATH.
adb_shellRun a shell command on a connected Android device via adb. As powerful as `adb shell` itself - only use against a device you control.
adb_installInstall an APK on a connected device via adb.
adb_logcatDump and tail the current logcat buffer from a connected device (a snapshot, not a live stream).
frida_list_processesList running processes (or installed apps) on a device via Frida. Requires frida-tools on PATH and a matching frida-server on the device.
frida_traceSpawn or attach to a process, inject a Frida script, and capture whatever it emits within a bounded time window (this isn't a real interactive Frida session - it runs the script, waits, then stops it). Requires frida-tools + a matching frida-server on the device.
summarize_textSummarize arbitrary text (e.g. tool output) using the Gateway's configured AI provider.
list_workspacesList every workspace that exists on the Gateway.
get_or_create_workspaceGet or create a workspace by name - idempotent, safe to call every time you start working on something.
list_knowledgeList a workspace's knowledge base entries - reports (auto-generated from finished workflows), notes, summaries, chat history.
chat_with_workspaceSend a message in a workspace's ongoing chat and get a reply, with real multi-turn history (not a one-shot completion) - useful for asking questions about accumulated findings without re-explaining context every time.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
Fastify's Content-Type header tab character allows body validation bypass
Fastify vulnerable to invalid content-type parsing, which could lead to validation bypass
nanoid: non-secure generators can loop indefinitely with negative size
nanoid: custom generators can loop indefinitely when size is zero
nanoid: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
HEXFORGE_API_KEYHEXFORGE_URLWEBHOOK_NOTIFIER_URLTool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
19/19 tools missing one or more hints — decompile_apk (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); decode_apk (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); build_apk (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +16 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 5 high severity in production deps — fastify@5.0.0 (high), fastify@5.0.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
