Then connect an MCP client that runs a local model, such as LM Studio, Jan or OpenCode, to its server, and serve a model that supports tool calling. Its README has a setup video for LM Studio.

5 models on this site run in JADX AI MCP

Models tagged for reverse engineering that support tool calling, with a GGUF or MLX build to serve locally. Raw decompilers such as LLM4Decompile run on their own in llama.cpp or LM Studio instead.

Which app should I use?

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
