FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate an MCP bundle from .dxt to .mcpb?▼

Migrating an MCP bundle from .dxt to .mcpb requires validating the manifest schema, renaming output files, updating npm scripts, and sweeping cross-document references to ensure packer compatibility and safe, auditable changes.

What is the .mcpb format used for in desktop bundles?▼

The .mcpb format is the modern packaging standard for MCP desktop bundles, replacing the legacy .dxt format to enable modern deployment workflows and ensure continuity of builds with the packer and manifest schema.

Do I need MCPB tooling to verify the manifest during migration?▼

Yes, MCPB tooling is required to validate manifests, rename outputs, and sweep references during the .dxt to .mcpb migration, ensuring safe, auditable changes and compatibility with the packer and manifest schema.

What does a cross-reference sweep involve when upgrading to .mcpb?▼

A cross-reference sweep involves updating docs, release notes, and asset references to reflect the new .mcpb format, ensuring all cross-document references are aligned after renaming outputs and updating npm scripts.

How do I update npm scripts for a tdmcp desktop bundle migration?▼

Updating npm scripts for a tdmcp desktop bundle migration involves aligning script commands with the new .mcpb output naming and manifest schema, ensuring the build process validates correctly after the format change.

Can I migrate a .dxt bundle without updating cross-document references?▼

No, migrating a .dxt bundle to .mcpb requires sweeping cross-document references in docs, release notes, and assets, as leaving legacy .dxt references can break build continuity and packer compatibility.
