Windows installation

AgentDock supports Windows 11 x64 and ARM64. It can work directly with Windows files, PowerShell, Git, and Skills. WSL is optional, and no source compilation is required.

1. Download and run the installer

Open PowerShell:

$script = Join-Path $env:TEMP 'install-agentdock.ps1'
Invoke-WebRequest `
  https://github.com/uvwt/agentdock/releases/latest/download/install-windows.ps1 `
  -OutFile $script
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $script

The installer downloads and verifies the prebuilt release for the current architecture, installs it under the current user's profile, and adds the installation directory to the user PATH. Close and reopen PowerShell after installation before continuing.

2. Start AgentDock

& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\AgentDock\bin\agentdock.exe" `
  --host 127.0.0.1 `
  --port 8765

Keep this PowerShell window open. You do not need to register automatic startup for the first trial. A newly opened PowerShell window can usually use the agentdock command directly.

3. Verify startup

Open another PowerShell window:

Invoke-RestMethod http://127.0.0.1:8765/healthz

A healthy response shows ok as True.

4. Connect an MCP client

For a client on the same computer, use:

Transport      Streamable HTTP
URL            http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp
Authentication Not required

tip

Installation is complete when the health check succeeds and the client connects.

Update

Download the latest installer and run it again. Tasks, Skills, configuration, and the working directory are preserved.
