}

Put your own value in place of <GHIDRALENS_TOKEN> (Shared secret printed by the PyGhidra bridge on startup. Start the bridge first: python bridge/serve.py --binary <path>). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: GHIDRALENS_BRIDGE_URL (Where the PyGhidra bridge is listening. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8799).

Ghidralens — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ghidralens?
Ghidralens runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package ghidralens was installed 168 times last week.
How do I connect Ghidralens?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls ghidralens straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Ghidralens?
The npm package ghidralens was installed 168 times in the last week. Week over week that is -17%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ghidralens open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
