Install AgentDock
Choose the system you are currently using. Most users should prefer a native installation. Choose Docker when it is already part of your environment or when you want stronger runtime isolation.
| Current environment | Recommended option |
|---|---|
| macOS | macOS installation |
| Windows 11 | Windows installation |
| Linux server or desktop | Linux installation |
| Docker already installed | Docker installation |
All standard installation methods automatically install and activate AgentDock's official core Skills. Other user-installed Skills, existing versions, and isolated environments remain in the same Skill Store and are not erased when AgentDock is upgraded.
When upgrading for the first time from a release that did not yet contain the core Skill bundle, rerun the installer for your platform. After that one-time upgrade, future agentdock update runs update both the binary and the official core Skills.
You do not need to download source code, install Go, or build AgentDock yourself.
After installation
Every installation page provides two pieces of information:
MCP URL
Connection token (required only when authentication is enabled)
Add them to the MCP, Tools, or Connectors settings in your client. Choose Streamable HTTP as the transport.
For your first use, complete only the numbered steps on the page for your operating system. You can return to the advanced links at the end later.
Choosing an option
- For your own Mac or Windows computer, use the native installer.
- For a long-running Linux server, use the Linux installer.
- For a quick isolated trial on a machine that already has Docker, use Docker.
- To use browser automation without preparing a runner manually, use Docker and then enable the browser image.
- To control the macOS screen and accessibility APIs, you must use the native macOS installation; Docker cannot control the host desktop.
