SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires node, python, @anthropic-ai/mcpb, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of packaging and distributing local MCP servers, making it accessible for users without Node/Python setups.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP Server Packaging: Create MCPB (Bundled Local MCP Server) packages that include the server and its runtime.
  • Runtime Inclusion: Ensures the server runs without needing Node, Python, or any toolchain on the user's machine.
  • Use Case: Ideal for distributing local MCP servers that interact with the local filesystem, desktop apps, or OS, and must be installable without additional setup.

Quick Start

Use the build-mcpb skill to package your local MCP server into a .mcpb file for distribution.

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 for distribution?▼

Package a local MCP server by bundling it with its runtime into an MCPB file. This approach ensures the server runs on machines without requiring Node.js, Python, or any toolchain setup.

What is runtime bundling for local MCP servers?▼

Runtime bundling for local MCP servers packages the server and its execution environment together into an MCPB file. This allows users to install and run local servers that interact with desktop apps or the OS without any additional setup.

Do I need Node.js or Python installed to run an MCPB file?▼

No, you do not need Node.js or Python installed to run an MCPB file. The package includes the necessary runtime, allowing the local MCP server to operate on user machines without any toolchain prerequisites.

What's the best way to distribute MCP servers that access the filesystem?▼

The best way to distribute filesystem-accessing MCP servers is packaging them into MCPB files. This bundles the server with its runtime, ensuring recipients can run the local server without installing Node.js or Python themselves.

Can I use the mcpb tool to package servers for any operating system?▼

You can use the mcpb tool to package local servers that interact with the OS. It bundles the server and its runtime into an MCPB file, which then executes on the user's machine without requiring a local toolchain installation.
