mcpb-bundle

mcpb-bundle is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pantani/tdmcp. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,085 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Migration instructions for changing a Codex Desktop extension from the older .dxt package format to the newer .mcpb MCP Bundle format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to check the installed packer, update build scripts and references, and package the desktop extension as an .mcpb file.
Why use it?
They explain the naming, manifest, packaging, and documentation changes needed so the bundle keeps building during the format change.

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

mcpb-bundle 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 8d 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.

tdmcp Desktop bundle: .dxt → .mcpb

Anthropic renamed Desktop Extensions from DXT (.dxt, packer @anthropic-ai/dxt, manifest key dxt_version) to MCPB (.mcpb, packer @anthropic-ai/mcpb, manifest key manifest_version). Legacy .dxt still installs in Codex Desktop, but new directory submissions should ship .mcpb.

What this repo already has

scripts/build-mcpb.mjs is already MCPB-aware: it tries @anthropic-ai/mcpb first, falls back to legacy @anthropic-ai/dxt, then to a system zip. The bundle stages manifest.json at the archive root + dist/, recipes/, td/, README.md, LICENSE, package.json, and a production-only node_modules. So the migration is mostly renaming the output + the references, not a rewrite.

dxt/manifest.json currently declares "manifest_version": "0.3" — already the modern MCPB key (not the legacy dxt_version), so the manifest is largely correct.

The migration, concretely

  1. Manifest — verify, don't guess. Before touching manifest_version, check what the installed packer accepts: npx --yes @anthropic-ai/mcpb --help (look for pack / validate). If it ships a validate command, run it against dxt/manifest.json and let it tell you. Only change manifest_version if validation demands it. A wrong value breaks install — this is why we verify rather than assume a number.
  2. Output filenametdmcp.mcpb. In scripts/build-mcpb.mjs: change outFile to tdmcp.mcpb and update the log lines (they say .dxt). Keep the packer-preference order and the zip fallback intact — both must still work. Optionally rename the script file to build-mcpb.mjs (update the npm script if you do).
  3. npm scripts (package.json): rename build:dxtbuild:mcpb pointing at the script. Only keep a build:dxt alias if something external depends on the old name (grep first); otherwise replace it cleanly — no compatibility cruft. Check the version script too (it stages dxt/manifest.json).
  4. Reference sweep — change user-facing .dxt.mcpb in: docs/guide/{install,troubleshooting,glossary}.md + their docs/pt/ mirrors, docs/DEPLOYMENT.md, docs/reference/cli.md, scripts/setup.mjs, README.md. Also grep .github/ for any release workflow that builds or uploads tdmcp.dxt / runs build:dxt.
  5. Release-asset URLs. Links to releases/latest/download/tdmcp.dxt point at a published asset. After this change the next release ships tdmcp.mcpb; update those links to .mcpb and record that a new release must be cut so the asset exists (the current v0.3.0 asset is still .dxt). Note this for the human in migration notes.
