FAQPage Schema
What is an MCPB bundle and how does packaging local MCP servers work?▼

An MCPB bundle packages local MCP servers into a self-contained, portable archive that includes the manifest, server code, dependencies, and resources. This allows the local MCP server to run offline without requiring the host toolchain.

How do I package a local MCP server into a distributable archive?▼

You package a local MCP server into a distributable archive by using a structured pack workflow. This process bundles your server code, dependencies, and assets into a single MCPB file, enforcing a structured manifest and verification step to ensure compatibility.

Can I distribute a local MCP server that runs offline without installing a toolchain?▼

Yes, you can distribute a local MCP server that runs offline. The MCPB bundle includes the server runtime and dependencies, allowing the archive to install and run on a host without requiring a separate toolchain setup.

What is the best way to ensure security and compatibility when bundling MCP servers?▼

The best way to ensure security and compatibility when bundling MCP servers is to use a verification and pack workflow. This enforces a structured manifest and validates all bundled components before creating the final portable MCPB archive.

Do I need a structured manifest to create a portable MCPB file?▼

Yes, a structured manifest is required to create a portable MCPB file. The packaging process enforces this structured manifest along with optional components directories to guarantee the local MCP server bundle remains compatible and secure.
