Author here. Great question — the MCP landscape for Ghidra has exploded lately. Here's my take:

*LaurieWired's GhidraMCP* (the one I contribute to): Most complete toolset — 110+ MCP tools, 130+ REST endpoints. Active development, Ghidra 11.3-12.0.2 support, localhost-only binding for security. Best for interactive RE sessions with Claude/GPT where you want maximum capability.

*pyghidra-mcp*: Runs headless via pyghidra. Great for batch processing or CI pipelines, but you lose the GUI workflow.

*ReVa*: More of an autonomous agent approach — it tries to do RE for you rather than with you. Different philosophy, interesting for automated triage.

*GhidrAssist*: Focuses on the Ghidra plugin side, less on MCP integration.

If you want the most tools and active maintenance for interactive AI-assisted RE, LaurieWired's is what I'd recommend. I've been using it for multi-version game RE (Diablo 2, GTA) and it handles the "analyze v1.07, port annotations to v1.08" workflow really well.
