build-mcpb

A packager for turning a local standard-input/output MCP server into an installable MCPB bundle. MCP is a way for an AI host to connect to tools, and standard input/output lets a local program communicate through the terminal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when shipping a local MCP server that needs the user’s files, processes, or network, especially alongside a command-line tunnel client.
Why use it?
It creates a single installable package for servers that need access to the user’s computer, instead of requiring manual setup.

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

build-mcpb 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 2d 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.

Build MCPB

MCPB packages a local stdio MCP server into a single installable bundle a user can drop into an MCP host. Use it only when the server must run on the user's machine — the clearest case here is tooling that rides with the CLI / tunnel client and needs local environment access. For anything that can run server-side, prefer the remote streamable-HTTP server on Workers (see build-mcp-server); don't package something as MCPB just to avoid hosting it.

When MCPB is the right call

  • The server needs the user's local filesystem, processes, or network position (e.g. replay-to- localhost tooling) that a remote Worker can't reach.
  • You want one-step install for a stdio server instead of asking users to clone and wire up a runtime.

If neither is true, it belongs on Workers as a remote server.

Packaging checklist

  • The server runs over stdio and starts cleanly with no manual setup beyond the bundle.
  • The manifest declares name, version, entry point, and the inputs/secrets it expects — with clear placeholders, never real tokens or account/zone IDs.
  • Secrets are requested at install/runtime and read from the environment; nothing sensitive is baked into the bundle.
  • Tool contracts and types match the other surfaces (shared/); the bundle is a packaging of an existing capability, not a divergent one.
  • Versioning + a smoke test: the bundle installs and the tools respond on a clean machine.

Guardrails

  • MCP/AI-native parity: a locally-bundled capability still exists on CLI/API/web/MCP at parity.
  • Standard-Webhooks-native signing/verification; no hand-rolled schemes shipped in the bundle.
  • Private-by-default and public-safe: no secrets, account/zone IDs, or pricing details in the manifest or bundled code.
  • A local server is still subject to the same validation and redaction rules — never log full payloads or PII/PHI.

Progressive disclosure

Keep the manifest template, signing/distribution steps, and a clean-machine install drill in references/.

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.

build-mcpb is a skill published in the GitHub repository webhook-co/webhook (0 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 523 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
