Its not clear to me, what you want to do.

You can create MGP packages from an entire folder.
You can modify the MGP file as a Zip file afterwards.

AFAIK, there is no documentation for the MGP format.
The format is quite simple, the MGP is a Zip file, which contains all 
the data, SDF and Xml.
There is a manifest file in the MGP, which contains operations executed 
agains the server.
These operations execute the actual data storage of either SDF or Xml data.
The SDF files are usually stored as "ResourceData" on a FeatureSource (Xml).
