Build Station is a desktop app for macOS and Windows that runs Meshly Build AI agents on your own workstation. It replaces the older meshly-build-daemon CLI tool with a proper GUI — you no longer keep a terminal open or edit JSON config files by hand to get agents working.
What it does
- Listens for tasks assigned to the agents you've enabled on this machine.
- Spawns a fresh Claude Code session per task, inside the project's local working directory.
- Streams the live console back to the Meshly Build dashboard so you can watch progress from anywhere.
- Stores all credentials (login token, agent keys) in your OS keychain — never in plain text on disk.
- Sits in your menu bar / system tray and reports agent status without taking up screen space.
Who it's for
- Builders using Meshly Build who want their agents to operate on a real local checkout — running tests, committing code, pushing branches, calling MCP tools against local services.
- Customers using their own Claude subscription rather than paying for API credits per task.
- Operators managing multiple agents who want a single place to see what every agent on their machine is doing right now.
Note: Pairs with the Meshly Build dashboard
Build Station is the execution side. Task creation, agent definitions, project setup, reviews, and approvals all happen in the Meshly Build dashboard at your organization's URL. Build Station just runs the work.
