FAQPage Schema
How do I package a local MCP server for distribution without requiring Node or Python?▼

You package a local MCP server with a bundled runtime using the mcpb tool, which creates an MCPB file that runs on target machines without requiring Node, Python, or any other toolchain installed.

What is a bundled runtime for an MCP server and how does it work?▼

A bundled runtime for an MCP server embeds the necessary execution environment directly into the package, allowing the server to run independently on local filesystems, desktop apps, or OS environments without external dependencies.

Do I need the mcpb tool to build a local MCP server package?▼

Yes, the mcpb tool is required to build the MCPB file. The build-mcpb skill leverages this dependency to package your local MCP server and its bundled runtime into a single distributable file.

When should I bundle a runtime with my local MCP server?▼

You should bundle a runtime when distributing local MCP servers that interact with the local filesystem, desktop apps, or OS, ensuring end-users can run the server without manually installing execution environments like Node or Python.

What's the best way to distribute a local MCP server that interacts with desktop apps?▼

The best way to distribute a local MCP server interacting with desktop apps is packaging it with a bundled runtime into an MCPB file, eliminating the need for users to configure toolchains before execution.
