FAQPage Schema
How do I package a local MCP server for offline desktop distribution?▼

Package a local MCP server by bundling its runtime into an MCPB archive using a manifest-driven workflow. This embeds the necessary Node or Python environment, enabling offline distribution and local filesystem access without external dependencies.

Do I need Node or Python installed to run an MCPB bundle?▼

No, you do not need Node or Python installed on the target machine. The MCPB bundle packages the local MCP server with its required runtime embedded, allowing desktop apps to run seamlessly in offline or disconnected environments.

What is the manifest-driven workflow for creating MCPB packages?▼

The manifest-driven workflow standardizes local MCP servers using a manifest.json and server.mcp_config. This process validates the server configuration before packaging it with a bundled runtime to ensure reliable desktop deployment.

Can I bundle a Python runtime for a local MCP server?▼

Yes, you can bundle a Python runtime for a local MCP server. The packaging process supports embedding both Node and Python runtimes inside the MCPB package, allowing the server to execute independently of the user's system environment.

Does the MCPB packaging process include security guidance?▼

Yes, the packaging process includes security guidance and validation. This ensures the bundled local MCP server and its manifest are securely configured before distribution, protecting desktop apps interacting with local filesystem and OS APIs.
