SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Package MCP servers with bundled runtimes into distributable MCPB archives, enabling offline or zero-toolchain deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bundle an MCP server with its runtime into a single .mcpb package for offline distribution.
  • Define a manifest, specify server entry, and configure host integration for local filesystem access and OS-level interactions.

Quick Start

Package your MCP server into a .mcpb bundle with a manifest and bundled runtime that runs without local tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions about build-mcpb

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bundle an MCP server with Python or Node for offline distribution?▼

You can package an MCP server with its bundled runtime into a single .mcpb archive. This enables offline or zero-toolchain deployment on hosts that do not have preinstalled Python or Node environments.

What is an MCPB package and when do I need it?▼

An MCPB package is a distributable archive containing an MCP server and its complete runtime. You need it when deploying MCP servers offline or on systems without local toolchains preinstalled.

Does packaging an MCP server into an MCPB archive require a preinstalled runtime?▼

No, packaging an MCP server into an MCPB archive bundles the runtime directly. This allows the server to run without requiring preinstalled Node or Python on the target host.

How do I structure a manifest for a local MCP server bundle?▼

You define a manifest that enforces structure, specifies the server entry point, and configures host integration for local filesystem access and OS-level interactions within the MCPB schema.

Can I distribute an MCP server bundle to hosts without Node or Python installed?▼

Yes, you can distribute MCPB archives to hosts without preinstalled Node or Python. The bundling process includes the complete runtime, enabling zero-toolchain deployment and offline execution.

What are the limitations of bundling MCP servers with bundled runtimes?▼

Bundling MCP servers requires enforcing manifest structure and compatibility as defined by the MCPB schema. It is specifically designed for offline scenarios and hosts lacking preinstalled runtimes, which may increase archive size.
