JS reverse engineering MCP server (Pro fork) — hook framework, deobfuscation, AI analysis, sessions, artifacts, portable bundle. Built on Patchright. Adapted from zhizhuodemao/js-reverse-mcp (Apache-2.0) and NoOne-hub/JSReverser-MCP (MIT).
JS Reverse MCP
English | 中文
Pro fork: Derived from zhizhuodemao/js-reverse-mcp (Patchright stealth core preserved) and selectively ports capabilities from NoOne-hub/JSReverser-MCP — hook framework, static deobfuscation, AI analysis, session snapshots, artifacts, case library. See
LICENSE(Apache-2.0) andLICENSE.JSReverser-MCP(MIT, NoOne-hub).
A JavaScript reverse engineering MCP server that enables AI coding assistants (Claude, Cursor, Codex) to debug and analyze JavaScript code in web pages.
Built on the Patchright anti-detection engine with multi-layered anti-bot bypass capabilities, allowing it to work on sites with bot detection such as Zhihu and Google.
Features
From upstream (preserved)
- Anti-detection browser — Patchright (Playwright anti-detection fork), 60+ stealth launch arguments
- Script analysis — list / search / get / save sources
- Breakpoint debugging —
set_breakpoint_on_text,break_on_xhr,step,get_paused_info - Function tracing —
trace_function(logpoint mode, doesn't pause) - Network & WebSocket — request initiator stacks, WS message analysis
inject_before_load— CDPPage.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument
Pro fork additions
- Hook framework — 5 built-in templates (function/crypto/network/encoding/storage), CDP injection + Symbol-keyed sink + CDP
Runtime.evaluatedrain; survives navigation - Static deobfuscation —

Anti-Detection
Two coexisting stealth layers, selectable per launch:
- Legacy stealth-args path (fork default; also gated by
--legacyStealth): Patchright + 60+ stealth launch arguments. Matches behavior before--cloakexisted. - Cloak path (
--cloak): CloakBrowser stealth-patched Chromium with source-level fingerprint patches (canvas / WebGL / audio / GPU). Binary auto-downloads (~200MB) on first use; identity is persisted per profile in<profile>/.cloak-seed. Conflicts with--browserUrl,--wsEndpoint,--executablePath,--channel.
| Layer | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| Patchright Engine | C++ level patches, removes navigator.webdriver, avoids Runtime.enable leaks |
| 60+ Stealth Args | Removes automation signatures, bypasses headless detection, GPU/network/behavior fingerprint spoofing |
| Harmful Args Removal | Excludes --enable-automation and 4 other default Playwright arguments |
| Silent CDP Navigation | Navigation tools don't activate CDP domains, captures requests only through Playwright-level listeners |
| Google Referer Spoofing | All navigations automatically include referer: https://www.google.com/ |
| Persistent Login State | Uses persistent user-data-dir by default, login state preserved across sessions |
| Cloak source patches | --cloak only: canvas / WebGL / audio / GPU fingerprint patches applied inside the Chromium build |
Hook framework stealth discipline (Pro fork)
The 18 new tools follow strict stealth rules:
- Injection path: CDP
Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument(same channel as upstreaminject_before_load); no PlaywrightaddInitScript/exposeBinding - Data sink:
globalThis[Symbol.for('__jr_sink')]array + CDPRuntime.evaluatedrain; no fixed string-named property onwindow, no console pollution Function.prototype.toStringself-cloaking: a stealth shim usesWeakMap<wrapped, orig>soFunction.prototype.toString.call(fetch)returnsfunction fetch() { [native code] }; the patched toString itself is registered, soFunction.prototype.toString.toString()is also nativestoragetemplatecookieoption default OFF:Object.defineProperty(document, 'cookie')leaves a non-native descriptor that advanced fingerprinters can detect- AI default OFF: only loads when
--enableAIand the matching API key are both set; OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini SDKs are dynamic-imported

Example configurations
Full setup (AI + enhanced stealth):
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... node build/src/index.js \
--browserUrl=http://localhost:9222 \
--enableAI --llmProvider=openai \
--blockWebrtc \
--artifactsDir=./my-tasks
Isolated (no persistent login, fresh each time):
{
"mcpServers": {
"js-reverse-pro": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/ABS/PATH/build/src/index.js", "--isolated"]
}
}
}
Connect to running Chrome
Launch Chrome (close all Chrome windows first):
Windows
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir="%TEMP%\chrome-debug"
macOS
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-debug
Then connect with --browserUrl=http://127.0.0.1:9222.
Workflow Cases
See scripts/cases/ for end-to-end workflows:
- JD H5 —
h5stparameter chain (URL sort + AES-CBC + timestamp watermark) - TikTok web —
a_bogus(custom obfuscation VM + sha256/md5) - Xiaohongshu web —
x-s/x-t/x-mns(Falcon, with toString reflection caveat)
General workflow:
1. start_reverse_task creates a task
2. new_page to target site → list_network_requests to find signed requests
3. get_request_initiator to inspect call stack
4. create_hook(network, urlPattern=...) + inject_hook
5. trigger requests → get_hook_data for context
6. create_hook(crypto) + inject_hook → see which algorithms run
7. get_script_source for the chunk → deobfuscate_code(level=deep)
8. collect_code on deobfuscated source to locate the sign function
9. understand_code (optional) lets the LLM explain it
10. record_evidence per finding
11. export_replay_bundle (shareable `.jrmcp.json`) or export_portable_bundle (single-file `run/portable.js` / `run/replay.js`)
Troubleshooting
Blocked by anti-bot systems
If you are blocked when visiting certain sites (e.g. Zhihu returning error 40362):
- Clear the contaminated profile: delete
~/.cache/chrome-devtools-mcp/chrome-profile - Use isolated mode: add
--isolated - Enable Canvas noise: add
--hideCanvas
Hook captures no events
- Confirm
inject_hookreturnedINJECTED(uselist_hooks) - Confirm rendered hook source has no syntax errors (start with
--logFile) - Re-injecting the same hook on a loaded page nests the wrap;
clear_hook(hookId)first or reload
deobfuscate_code level=deep complains about webcrack
webcrack is an optional dependency that itself requires @babel/core. This fork already promotes @babel/core to dependencies; if it still complains, run npm install to refresh.
