Let your AI agent drive Paquet Builder

Ask Claude for a silent installer, a version bump, or a new setup from a spec. Through the MCP server, your agent works on the same projects you open in the IDE, with the same compiler and the same signing settings.

  • Open, edit, and compile installer projects from a conversation
  • Update versions, files, and settings across many projects at once
  • Read the build log and fix errors without opening the GUI
