FAQPage Schema
How do I package a local MCP server into a single file for distribution?▼

Packaging a local MCP server into a single file involves bundling the server code with its required runtime into an MCPB format. This allows the server to be easily installed and run without requiring Node, Python, or any other toolchain on the user's machine.

Can I distribute an MCP server that requires local filesystem access without Python or Node setup?▼

Yes, you can distribute an MCP server requiring local filesystem access without Node or Python setup. By bundling the runtime into the packaged file, the server operates independently without needing any toolchain installed on the target machine.

What is an MCPB file and when do I need it for local server distribution?▼

An MCPB file is a single, easy-to-install package containing a local MCP server and its runtime. You need it when distributing servers that interact with local files, desktop apps, or OS APIs and must be installable without additional environment setup.

Does the bundled MCP server runtime support OS-level interaction and desktop app integration?▼

Yes, the bundled MCP server runtime supports OS-level interaction and desktop app integration. It is specifically designed for servers that need to interact with local files, desktop applications, or operating system APIs without requiring external toolchains.

What's the best way to make an MCP server installable without any toolchain dependencies?▼

The best way to make an MCP server installable without toolchain dependencies is to bundle the server with its required runtime into a single MCPB file. This ensures the server runs independently without needing Node, Python, or any other setup.
