Anything Analyzer

Name: Anything Analyzer MCP Server
Author: Mouseww

Throw any protocol capture, binary blob, archive, or log at Claude and get back structured analysis — pcap, ELF, ZIP, JSON-RPC, you name it.

Anything Analyzer wraps a battery of file/protocol parsers behind one MCP server. Claude calls analyze() with a path and you get the right parser dispatched: pcap → conversations, ELF → sections, ZIP → manifest, etc.

Pick your client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anything-analyzer-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "anything-analyzer-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Restart after saving.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anything-analyzer-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "anything-analyzer-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor uses the same mcpServers schema as Claude Desktop. Project config wins over global.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anything-analyzer-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "anything-analyzer-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Click the MCP Servers icon in the Cline sidebar, then "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anything-analyzer-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "anything-analyzer-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same shape as Claude Desktop. Restart Windsurf to pick up changes.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "anything-analyzer-mcp",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "anything-analyzer-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue uses an array of server objects rather than a map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "anything-analyzer-mcp": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "anything-analyzer-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to context_servers. Zed hot-reloads on save.

claude mcp add anything-analyzer-mcp -- npx -y anything-analyzer-mcp

One-liner. Verify with claude mcp list. Remove with claude mcp remove.

Use Cases

Real-world ways to use Anything Analyzer

Triage an unknown binary handed to you

👤 Developers ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

When to use: You got a build artifact and want to know what's inside without writing scripts.

Flow

Analyze

analyze /path/to/blob; analyzer returns format + summary.✓ Copied

→ Format identified
Drill

Ask Claude to pull specific sections.✓ Copied

→ Structured slice returned

Outcome: You know what the artifact is and what's notable about it.

Combinations

Pair with other MCPs for X10 leverage

anything-analyzer-mcp + filesystem

Hand Claude the file path; analyzer reads from disk

Combine anything-analyzer-mcp with filesystem: Hand Claude the file path; analyzer reads from disk✓ Copied

Tools

What this MCP exposes

Tool	Inputs	When to call	Cost
analyze	(see docs)	Auto-detect and parse a file	1 call
extract	(see docs)	Pull a named section/field	1 call

Cost & Limits

What this costs to run

API quota: Local CPU
Tokens per call: Output can be large — use extract
Monetary: Free OSS
Tip: Use extract for big files; analyze emits a summary first

Security

Permissions, secrets, blast radius

Minimum scopes: fs-read

Credential storage: None

Data egress: Local only

Never grant: analyze files outside your project root unless intentional

Troubleshooting

Common errors and fixes

Unknown format

Pass --type to force a parser; defaults to magic-byte detect
