Connect
Supabase connects with an access token:- Open Access Tokens: Account → Access Tokens → Generate new token. Name it Hoista.
- Choose all projects in your organization and set Projects to read-write, so Hoista can also create new ones.
- Copy the token before you close the window. It starts with
sbp_. - In Desktop, open Accounts, choose Supabase, paste the token and pick the organization.

Supabase’s Access Tokens page, captured November 2026. Personal details are blurred. If yours looks different, the names in the steps still match.
hoist accounts add supabase --name NAME --token-stdin, and add --account <organization-id> if the token reaches more than one organization.
If your backend was created by an app builder, the token must belong to a Supabase account that can reach that project.
What you can do
- Create a new Supabase project.
- Read and change variables on the Variables tab.
- See logs on the Logs tab and metrics on Metrics.
- Use the Supabase tab for Supabase’s own settings and operations.
