SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you package a local MCP server into a single installable bundle so users can run it without installing Node, Python, or a separate toolchain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bundle local runtimes: Package server code together with its dependencies for distribution as one .mcpb file.
  • Define install-time config: Set up manifest fields for server launch settings, compatibility, and user-provided values.
  • Protect local data access: Follow built-in guidance for safe path handling, read-only defaults, and avoiding command injection.
  • Use case: A developer building a filesystem helper or desktop automation server can turn it into a portable MCPB that installs cleanly on a teammate's machine.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to package your local MCP server as an MCPB bundle and walk you through the manifest, packaging, and security checks.

Frequently Asked Questions about build-mcpb

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

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

You package a local MCP server into a single file by creating a self-contained MCPB bundle. This process combines your server code and dependencies into one .mcpb file that runs without requiring a preinstalled runtime like Node or Python.

What is an MCPB bundle and when do I need it for local automation?▼

An MCPB bundle is a self-contained package for a local MCP server. You need it when distributing filesystem tools, desktop automation, or localhost integrations that must run on a user's machine without a separate toolchain.

How do I configure install-time settings and compatibility for an MCP server manifest?▼

You configure install-time settings by defining manifest fields for server launch settings, compatibility metadata, and user-provided values. This manifest setup ensures the MCPB bundle installs cleanly and operates correctly on the target machine.

Can I distribute desktop automation servers through an MCPB bundle on machines without Node or Python?▼

Yes, you can distribute desktop automation servers through an MCPB bundle on machines without Node or Python. The bundling process embeds the local runtime, allowing the server to execute directly on the teammate's machine.

What are the security requirements for packaging filesystem tools into an MCPB?▼

Security requirements for packaging filesystem tools include applying safe local path validation, setting read-only defaults, and preventing command injection. These checks protect local data access during the installation and execution of the MCPB bundle.
