About this skill
MCPB is a local MCP server packaged with its runtime . The user installs one file; it runs without needing Node, Python, or any toolchain on their machine. It's the sanctioned way to distribute local MCP servers. MCPB is the secondary distribution path. Anthropic recommends remote MCP servers for directory listing — see . Use MCPB when the server must run on the user's machine — reading local files, driving a desktop app, talking to localhost services, OS-level APIs. If your server only hits cloud APIs, you almost certainly want a remote HTTP server instead (see build-mcp-server ). Don't pay the MCPB packaging tax for something that could be a URL.
