Java JAR Decompiler & Reverse Engineering MCP Server (sapyyy/reverse-engineering-mcp-server) is an MCP server listed on the M8ven Trust Index. It scores 72 out of 100, grade C. It declares 18 tools. No publisher has claimed this listing.
Enables decompilation and reverse engineering of Java JAR files through multi-engine decompilation, candidate evaluation, Maven project structuring, AST-based deobfuscation, and bytecode comparison.
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_jarDecompiles a Java .jar file into a target directory and returns comprehensive decompilation analytics, tree output, and logs.
list_decompilersLists all Java decompiler files (.jar or executables) currently found in the decompiler folder.
analyze_decompilation_outputAnalyzes an existing directory containing decompiled source code to count Java files, detect decompilation warnings/errors, and produce a directory tree.
evaluate_and_mavenize_sourcesEvaluates decompiled outputs (comparing AST structure, line count, compiler warning count), chooses the best candidate with minimal code loss, and structures it into a clean Maven project with pom.xml.
compile_maven_projectCompiles a Maven project using mvn clean compile, parses any compilation errors into a human-readable format, and writes the log file.
compare_bytecode_and_analyzePerforms ASM bytecode analysis comparing the original JAR against the recompiled mavenized source, outputting percentage match, business context similarity, and variable readability scores into a text log.
generate_ast_and_detect_obfuscationUses GumTree Spoon AST Diff to parse Java source files, generate AST representations, and detect obfuscated or synthetic variable names (e.g., var0, arg1, single-letter, closure captures).
rename_obfuscated_variablesCopies mavenized source to final output directory, applies obfuscated variable renames with meaningful names, adds changelog comments to modified files, and generates a comprehensive rename log. NEVER modifies business logic.
run_ast_deobfuscation_pipelineRuns the complete end-to-end AST de-obfuscation pipeline: copies mavenized_merged_source to mavenized_final_output, compiles, parses AST via GumTree Spoon to find obfuscated vars/methods, applies context-aware renames without changing business logic, verifies compilation, re-scans AST, and outputs l…
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
Anthropic's MCP TypeScript SDK has a ReDoS vulnerability
Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default
JAVA_HOMEJava Development Kit (JDK): JDK 8 / JDK 17 / JDK 24 (configured in or path)Tool 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
18/18 tools missing one or more hints — decompile_jar (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_decompilers (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); analyze_decompilation_output (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +15 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.
License file
No license file
Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Shell command execution
7 child_process/subprocess calls in production code — runs shell commands (src/decompilerHandler.js:175, src/decompilerHandler.js:464, src/decompilerHandler.js:630)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 2 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.5.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.5.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
