DIE (Detect It Easy) MCP Server

June 27, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

Overview

This project provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows AI agents to use Detect It Easy (DIE) to analyze executable files. The server acts as a bridge between AI models and the DIE command-line tool.

Server Structure

  • die_server.py - Main MCP server implementation
  • requirements.txt - Project dependencies
  • examples/ - Optional example clients and usage demonstrations

Quick Start

  1. Install DIE (Detect It Easy) command-line tool
  2. Install dependencies:
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    
  3. Run the server:
    python die_server.py --die-path "path/to/diec.exe" --transport stdio
    

Server Options

  • --transport {stdio,sse}: Transport mode (stdio or sse). Default: stdio
  • --host HOST: Host to bind to (for SSE mode). Default: 0.0.0.0
  • --port PORT: Port to listen on (for SSE mode). Default: 8080
  • --die-path DIE_PATH: Path to the DIE command-line executable (diec.exe)

Available MCP Tools

The server exposes these DIE functionalities through MCP:

analyze_file

Analyzes an executable file with DIE.

{
    "file_path": "path/to/file",
    "json_output": true,
    "deep_scan": false,
    "entropy": false,
    "verbose": false
}

show_special_info

Gets special file info for a specific method.

{
    "file_path": "path/to/file",
    "method": "Hash"  # or other methods like "Entropy", "Info"
}

list_available_methods

Lists all available special methods for a file.

{
    "file_path": "path/to/file"
}

Example Usage

See the examples/ directory for sample clients and usage demonstrations.
