Hoista finds the projects on a Vercel team and shows their production status, deployments, domains and build output. It can create a Vercel project from a GitHub repository and change a project’s environment variables.

​
Connect

In Desktop, open Accounts, choose Vercel, and paste a token:
  1. Open Tokens: Account Settings → Tokens → Create. Name it Hoista.
  2. Set the scope to your team, or to the one project it should reach.
  3. Copy the token. Vercel shows it once.
  4. Paste it into Hoista and pick the team.
Vercel’s Tokens page

Vercel’s Tokens page, captured November 2026. Personal details are blurred. If yours looks different, the names in the steps still match.

From the CLI:
It asks for the token in a hidden prompt and finds the team from it. In scripts, use hoist accounts add vercel --name NAME --token-stdin, and add --account <team-id> if the token reaches more than one team.

​
What you can do

  • Create a Vercel project linked to a GitHub repository. Vercel’s GitHub app must be able to reach the repository.
  • Read and change environment variables on the Variables tab.
  • See build and deploy output on the Logs tab, and metrics on Metrics.
  • Use the Vercel tab for the project’s deployments, domains and settings, and for Vercel’s own operations.
  • See what Vercel has billed the team on Billing.
  • Delete a project at Vercel after you confirm it by name.

Bring in existing resources

Hoista looks for projects when you connect. In Desktop, add them as described in Bring in an existing project. From the CLI:
