Thanks for sharing! It seems to be an active space, vide a recent MCP server (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46882389). I you haven't tried, recommend a lot posting it as Show HN. I tried a few approaches - https://github.com/jtang613/GhidrAssistMCP (was the harderst to set) Ghidra analyzeHeadless (GPT-5.2-Codex worked with it well!) and PyGhidra (my go-to). Did you try to see which works the best? I mean, very likely (especially with an explicit README for AI, https://github.com/akiselev/ghidra-cli/blob/master/.claude/s...) your approach might be more convenient to use with AI agents.

Shameless plug: https://github.com/akiselev/ghidra-cli I’ve been using Ghidra to reverse engineer Altium’s file format (at least the Delphi parts) and it’s insane how effective it is. Models are not quite good enough to write an entire parser from scratch but before LLMs I would have never even attempted the reverse engineering. I definitely would not depend on it for security audits but the latest models are more than good enough to reverse engineer file formats.
