MCPB is a way to package a local MCP server with its runtime inside. That means the user installs just one file and it works right away. They do not need Node, Python, or any other tool on their machine.
This is great for servers that must run on the user's own computer. They can read local files, control desktop apps, or talk to other services on the machine. If your server only connects to cloud services, you should use a remote server instead.
With MCPB you bundle your server code, dependencies, and a manifest file into a single .mcpb archive. The host software reads the manifest and starts your server with the right command. Your code stays exactly the same as a normal local server.
