As MB Custom Post Types & Custom Taxonomies can work as an independent, standalone plugin, you can use it without installing Meta Box. In this case, the plugin creates a new menu item Post Types, where you can see sub-menu items for post types and taxonomies.

If you already have Meta Box activated, the plugin creates 2 sub-menus for Post Types and Taxonomies under the top-level Meta Box menu.

In both cases, clicking on that will redirect you to the main plugin page where you can create or manage custom post types and taxonomies.
