Get started

Install REA, then read the doctor report.

Setup writes client configuration only after you approve the plan. The command below is the npm package rea-agents. Source for this site is ReaReverse.

npx rea-agents@latest setup

Node

Supported lines are Node 22 from 22.19, Node 24 from 24.11, and Node 26 or newer. Node 23 and 25 are not supported.

Clients

The same local server can be attached to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and other MCP clients listed by rea doctor.

Native engines

JavaScript and .NET metadata can be read without Ghidra. Native decompilation needs Ghidra, Hopper or IDA, which you supply. Hopper does not ship a Windows build.

After setup

Run rea doctor. If an engine is missing, the report says so. Restart the coding agent so it reloads the new MCP config.

What stays local

The analysis tools run on your machine. The findings you send to the agent still go to that agent’s model provider.

What to open first

One function, one IPC channel, or one saved HAR. A whole-application rewrite is a later project, not the first command.
