About
MCP for Pwn
README
stateful system for autonomous pwn and binary research, designed for LLM agents.
Overview
pwno-mcp runs GDB + pwndbg in an isolated environment and exposes stateful debugging, exploit I/O, and helper tooling over MCP for agentic coding clients.
Features
- Stateful debugger sessions via GDB + pwndbg
- Deterministic execution control via GDB/MI
- Fast context snapshots for registers, stack, disassembly, source, and backtrace
