Android unpacking + smali analysis MCP Server. Use from Cursor / Codex / Claude Code to manage devices, detect packers, unpack (static / BlackDex / Frida), convert dex→smali, and search API strings.

Repo: https://github.com/TimeCyber/DexAndroid · npm: android-decompile-mcp

---

Quick start (npm + MCP)

1. No clone — download & run from npm:

npx -y android-decompile-mcp

2. Load into Cursor / Claude / Codex — paste into .cursor/mcp.json (or global MCP config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "android-decompile-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "android-decompile-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ADB_PATH": "adb",
        "DEX_OUT_DIR": "./unpack-output"
      }
    }
  }
}

Save → restart the client / reload MCP. Done.

Optional global install: npm i -g android-decompile-mcp then run android-decompile-mcp.

Requirements

• Windows / macOS / Linux (docs use Windows examples)
• Node.js ≥ 18
• ADB on PATH, or set ADB_PATH
• Java 8+ (for baksmali via dex_to_smali)
• Optional: BlackDex; rooted device + frida-server; pip install frida-tools frida-dexdump

Place baksmali fat jar / frida-server / BlackDex under local tools/ (large binaries are gitignored).

Local development build

git clone https://github.com/TimeCyber/DexAndroid.git
cd DexAndroid
npm install
npm run build
npm start

---

Environment variables

Variable	Meaning	Default
ADB_PATH	adb executable	adb
DEX_OUT_DIR	Default output dir	<cwd>/unpack-output
BAKSMALI_JAR	baksmali jar	auto-discover under tools/

Typical workflows

1. Static unpack (fastest)

1. list_devices or prepare local apkPath.
2. detect_packer.
3. static_unpack → classes*.dex.
4. dex_to_smali → smali folder.
5. smali_search / smali_read_class.

Note: Protected apps often yield only the shell via static unpack—use BlackDex / Frida for business code.

2. No-Root (BlackDex)

1. list_devices.
2. blackdex_prepare with blackdexApkPath.
3. Unpack the target app in BlackDex UI.
4. blackdex_pull with targetPkg.
5. dex_to_smali then smali_*.

3. Root (Frida)

1. Rooted device (e.g. Magisk), adb ready.
2. frida_prepare to push/start tools/frida-server.
3. Matching frida / frida-dexdump locally (prefer 16.x).
4. frida_unpack with pkg, prefer spawn: true, deepSearch: true.
5. dex_to_smali on output, then analyze.

If Frida 17 attach fails, align tools to 16.x; some devices need temporary setenforce 0.

4. smali analysis examples

smali_list_classes  smaliDir=.../smali  keyword=login
smali_search        smaliDir=.../smali  pattern=https?://|/api/|publicClient/
smali_read_class    smaliDir=.../smali  className=com.example.api.ApiService

Agent skills (Cursor / Codex / Claude Code)

After unpacking, use android-api-smali-analysis so the agent recovers headers, body, encrypt/decrypt methods, and keys (smali / .so / server-delivered), not path-only notes.

Client	Skill path
Canonical	skills/android-api-smali-analysis/SKILL.md
Cursor	.cursor/skills/android-api-smali-analysis/
Codex	.agents/skills/android-api-smali-analysis/
Claude Code	.claude/skills/android-api-smali-analysis/ (/android-api-smali-analysis)

Edit the canonical file, then sync copies:

node tools/sync-skills.mjs

See skills/README.md.

Decompile examples

See examples/ (smali shipped as zip):

Sample	Path	Contents
Damai	examples/damai/	Frida smali.zip + API docs
Huaxi Maternity	examples/huaxi/	Static smali.zip (info.cd120.two)

After unzip, run smali_list_classes / smali_search / smali_read_class.

FAQ

Q: Empty list_devices?
Check USB debugging, adb devices, pass serial if multiple.

Q: No business classes after static unpack?
Likely packed—use BlackDex or Frida.

Q: dex_to_smali failed?
Install Java; put baksmali jar in tools/ or set BAKSMALI_JAR.

Q: Frida jailed / version mismatch?
Keep frida-server and host frida major versions aligned; try 16.x.

Q: Where is output?
Default unpack-output/ (or DEX_OUT_DIR). Do not commit dumps.
