Architect Toolbox for Windows - install and manage Architect Agent

Architect Toolbox is the new Windows app for installing and managing Architect Agent. It lives in the system tray so setup, status, and updates stay in one place instead of a pile of one-off installers.

If you host game servers on Windows with CFTools Architect, Toolbox is how you get the Agent on the machine and keep it healthy day to day. Less time hunting folders. More time shipping a deployment that actually starts.

What Architect Toolbox does

Install and update Architect Agent on the host
Show whether the Agent is installed and running
Start, stop, repair, and uninstall without hunting folders by hand
Keep Toolbox itself up to date when a newer build is available
Launch the Architect Manager installer when you need the desktop console

You still need a license and a clear plan for firewall ports. Toolbox does not replace Manager. It gets the Agent installed and under control so Manager has something solid to talk to.

Who it is for

Architect Toolbox is for Windows dedicated hosts and anyone who used to juggle separate Agent installers. Put it on the box where the games run. Pair Manager from that machine or from another device once the Agent is up.

If you already run Architect, Toolbox is the cleaner path for Agent lifecycle on Windows. If you are new, it is the first thing to install on the host before you open Manager and create a title.

Linux Agent installs and deep title guides stay in the help center. This release is the Windows home base.

How to get started

Install Architect Toolbox on the Windows host.
Sign in with your Architect license when prompted.
Install Architect Agent from the Toolbox dashboard and wait until it reports running.
Install or open Architect Manager, connect to the Agent, and create your first deployment.

Open the Agent port if you manage from another machine (default TCP 8090), plus the game ports your title needs. For the longer path, including firewall notes and system requirements, start with installing an Architect Agent and getting started.

Next step

Architect is how CFTools wants game server hosting to feel on Windows: Agent on the host, Manager for control, Toolbox to keep the Agent install boring and repeatable.
