mcp-bundle CLAUDE.md

mcp-bundle CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from zircote/mcp-bundle. It costs 431 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A Claude Code plugin and GitHub Actions workflow for packaging Model Context Protocol servers as MCPB bundles. MCPB is a package format for distributing an MCP server with its manifest and files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect an MCP server project, create its manifest and bundle directory, validate the package, and set up automated packaging in GitHub Actions.
Why use it?
It avoids manually creating the package structure and checking whether the manifest contains the required fields.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-bundle CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skills

/mcp-bundle:mcpb

Generates MCPB bundle packages for MCP server projects. Detects existing MCP server implementations, generates manifest.json, creates bundle directory structure, validates against the MANIFEST.md spec, and wires in CI/CD via the reusable workflow.

Testing

Run the test suite:

./tests/test-manifest-validation.sh

Requires: bash 4+, jq. Tests validate manifest parsing, required fields, validation rules, workflow/action structure, skill content, and example presence. All 262 tests must pass before committing.

Test fixtures live in tests/fixtures/ — add new .json fixtures there for additional validation test cases.

MCPB Spec Reference

  • Manifest spec version: 0.3 (Node/Python/Binary), 0.4 (UV runtime)
  • Bundle format: ZIP archive with .mcpb extension
  • Transport: stdio only
  • Required manifest fields: manifest_version, name, version, description, author, server
  • Server types: node, python, binary, uv

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
