REA Project Reports 405,700 GitHub Stars with v6.8.0 Release
Summary
The REA project, an MIT-licensed MCP server that lets AI agents inspect native binaries, Electron apps and .NET assemblies, reports 405,700 GitHub stars and a v6.8.0 release dated Oct. 25, 2026. Setup runs through npx rea-agents setup and requires Node.js 22.x or newer. Deep native analysis depends on Hopper, Ghidra, IDA or Kuna.
Key Points
- Setup registers REA with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Grok Build, the README states.
- The README states Linux setups need a procps-compatible ps on REA's PATH for Ghidra, JADX and firmware tool launches.
- MCP ships compact input schemas by default to reduce context overhead, per the project README.
