The project plugs reverse-engineering tools into AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Grok Build as MCP services, so the agents can reverse-engineer software when source code isn't available. Installation takes a single command. So far the only public information comes from this one first-hand introduction, with no further updates.
