Installation

Download

Download the FoxAgent installer for Windows:

System requirements

• Windows 10 / 11 (x64)
• .NET Framework 4.8 — for FoxAgent.Bridge (COM)
• .NET 10 Runtime — for Broker and McpHost
• Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP2 or higher

The installer automatically checks if you have .NET 10 and .NET 4.8. If any is missing, it offers to download it.

What the installer does

The FoxAgent installer automatically performs the following actions:

1. Installs components
   • FoxAgent.Broker.exe — central server
   • FoxAgent.McpHost.exe — MCP server for Claude Desktop and OpenCode
   • FoxAgent.Bridge.dll — COM bridge for VFP
   • SDK — base class and template for custom tools
2. Registers the COM Bridge

   FoxAgent.Bridge.dll is registered as a COM component so VFP can create it with CREATEOBJECT().

3. Installs the Broker as a Windows service

   The FoxAgentBroker service is configured with automatic start and starts immediately. You can verify it in services.msc.

4. Configures your AI agent (optional)

   If it detects Claude Desktop or OpenCode installed, it offers to automatically configure FoxAgent in their MCP configuration.

Verify installation

After installation, verify the service is running:

# In PowerShell or CMD:
sc query FoxAgentBroker

# You should see: STATE: RUNNING

You can also open services.msc and look for 'FoxAgent Broker' in the list.
