Token Station

Token Station

One local gateway for every AI agent.

Connect Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and other agents to the models you control. Pin a provider, route by task, or use quota before it resets.

Token Station routes each agent to the right model

Highlights

  • Local by default. The Rust gateway listens on 127.0.0.1:8787 and requires authentication. Agent request traffic leaves the device only when you route it to a cloud provider.
  • Three routes. Direct pins one provider and model. Smart tiers picks High, Mid, or Low in a single decision. Quota first spends buckets that reset sooner.
  • Enterprise-managed routing. Enter an enterprise Base URL and credential once. The enterprise service keeps control of its real models and routing policy.
  • Your providers. Start from 40+ editable presets, add a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or keep work on a local runtime such as Ollama.
  • Desktop and CLI. Both share the same Rust core. Usage, latency, cost estimates, and request logs stay on this machine.
  • Reversible connectors. Connect writes a bounded plan and a private snapshot. Disconnect removes only Token Station fields.
  • Sandboxed adapters. Official WASM plugins cover Anthropic Messages, OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Gemini, and OpenAI-compatible providers. They have no network, filesystem, or credential access.

Agents


Claude Code

Claude Desktop

Codex

Gemini CLI

Grok Build

Kimi Code

DeepSeek Harness

Hermes Agent

OpenClaw

WorkBuddy

OpenCode

Cursor

Eleven agents use a built-in connector. Cursor's dedicated setup is currently macOS-only. See the guides and reference for protocols and connector notes.

Quick start

You need a provider API key or a local model endpoint. Token Station does not import agent subscriptions or OAuth sessions.

  1. Download the latest build from Releases: DMG for macOS, MSI for Windows, or AppImage/DEB/RPM for x86_64 Linux.
  2. Open Token Station and add a provider. Use a preset or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
  3. On Home, set the global route to Direct, Smart tiers, or Quota first.
  4. For a built-in connector, select a detected agent and click Connect. Configure Cursor through its dedicated setup flow.
  5. Send a request from the agent. Inspect the result in Usage.

The default listen address is 127.0.0.1:8787.

On macOS, Windows, and Linux, closing the window hides the app while the gateway keeps running. Restore it from the menu-bar or system-tray icon, or launch Token Station again. Use Quit Token Station in the native menu to stop the process. Automatic updates remain macOS-only; Windows and Linux builds update manually from Releases.

Install from source

Desktop development needs Rust stable (MSRV 1.96), Node.js 22.23.1, and the wasm32-wasip2 target.

git clone https://github.com/ballast-ai/token-station.git
cd token-station
rustup target add wasm32-wasip2
npm --prefix apps/desktop ci
npm --prefix apps/desktop run tauri:dev
# CLI
cargo build -p token-station-cli
./target/debug/token-station-cli --help

A normal Cargo build does not embed the official adapters. Use scripts/build-release.sh <target-triple> for a packaged CLI. On macOS, scripts/install-local-desktop.sh builds, audits, and installs a local desktop app.

Use the assets listed on the selected release page. Signing and notarization vary by build.

Security

  • The gateway rejects non-loopback listen addresses. Local authentication is on by default.
  • Provider credentials default to an owner-only secrets.json. They do not appear in logs or plugins.
  • Desktop request logs store prompt and response bodies plus a bounded redacted HTTP trace as owner-only plaintext. Receipts and metrics do not.
  • A cloud provider still receives any request you route to it.
