FAQPage Schema
What is an MCPB bundle and how does packaging local MCP servers work?

An MCPB bundle packages local MCP servers into a self-contained, portable archive that includes the manifest, server code, dependencies, and resources. This allows the local MCP server to run offline without requiring the host toolchain.

How do I package a local MCP server into a distributable archive?

You package a local MCP server into a distributable archive by using a structured pack workflow. This process bundles your server code, dependencies, and assets into a single MCPB file, enforcing a structured manifest and verification step to ensure compatibility.

Can I distribute a local MCP server that runs offline without installing a toolchain?

Yes, you can distribute a local MCP server that runs offline. The MCPB bundle includes the server runtime and dependencies, allowing the archive to install and run on a host without requiring a separate toolchain setup.

What is the best way to ensure security and compatibility when bundling MCP servers?

The best way to ensure security and compatibility when bundling MCP servers is to use a verification and pack workflow. This enforces a structured manifest and validates all bundled components before creating the final portable MCPB archive.

Do I need a structured manifest to create a portable MCPB file?

Yes, a structured manifest is required to create a portable MCPB file. The packaging process enforces this structured manifest along with optional components directories to guarantee the local MCP server bundle remains compatible and secure.
