Deploy Builderz Mission Control — 26-Panel AI Agent Dashboard — to Your Own Server

Most agent dashboards show you what's running. Builderz Mission Control shows you everything — 26 panels covering tasks, agents, logs, token usage, memory, cron jobs, alerts, webhooks, and pipelines. And despite that depth, it has zero external dependencies: just SQLite, a single pnpm start, and you're live.

The standout feature is GitHub sync: open issues from your repositories appear on the task board alongside agent-created tasks, with label and assignee mapping. Your GitHub backlog and your AI agent queue become one unified work surface.

With HowToDeploy, it's running in minutes.

Why Builderz Mission Control?

26 monitoring panels — tasks, agents, logs, token costs, memory, cron, alerts, webhooks, pipelines, and more — the deepest observability of any open-source agent dashboard
GitHub sync — repo issues appear on the kanban board with label and assignee mapping; agents and humans share the same work queue
Real-time updates — WebSocket and SSE push updates throughout; the board reflects live agent state without refreshing
CLI integration — manage agents directly from the terminal without opening the dashboard
Zero dependencies — no PostgreSQL, no Redis, no Docker required; SQLite handles everything
Drag-and-drop kanban — move tasks between columns manually when needed
Custom domain + SSL — serve your dashboard on your own domain with automatic HTTPS

Prerequisites

Before you start, you'll need:

A HowToDeploy account (sign up free)
A cloud provider API key (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr, Linode, or AWS)
Optionally, a GitHub personal access token for repository sync

Step 1: Connect your cloud provider

Go to Settings → Cloud Providers and paste your API key.

Note: Builderz Mission Control is currently alpha software. Core features are stable, but APIs, database schemas, and configuration formats may change between releases. Not recommended for production agent fleets yet — but excellent for development and internal tooling.

Step 2: Deploy Builderz Mission Control

Head to the Dashboard and find Mission Control by Builderz in the app catalog. Click the card to open the deploy form.

Fill in two fields:

Admin Email — your login email
Admin Password — at least 8 characters

Server size, region, and SQLite are all pre-configured. Click Deploy.

Step 3: Enable GitHub sync (optional)

Want your GitHub issues to appear on the task board? Expand Advanced Settings and add:

GitHub Token — a personal access token with repo scope (or a fine-grained token scoped to specific repos)
GitHub Repository — the repo to sync, in owner/repo format (e.g. myorg/myproject)

Once connected, open issues sync to the task board with their labels and assignees. Agents can pick them up directly, and status changes sync back to GitHub.

Step 4: Add a custom domain (optional)

Enter your domain in Advanced Settings before deploying. After deployment, point an A record to the server IP, click Verify DNS, and Caddy issues the SSL certificate automatically.

Step 5: Register your agents

Once the dashboard is live, head to Agents → Register. Each agent needs:

A name and description
The agent type (maps to how it receives and reports tasks)
A heartbeat interval (how often it pings the dashboard to confirm it's alive)

Once registered, agents appear on the dashboard and start receiving tasks from the queue.

Exploring the 26 panels

Here's a snapshot of what you get out of the box:

Panel	What it shows
Tasks	Full kanban board — backlog, in-progress, review, done
Agents	Registry with status, last heartbeat, current task
Logs	Structured agent output with filtering and search
Tokens	Token usage and cost tracking per agent and task
Memory	Agent memory store — what each agent remembers
Cron	Scheduled agent tasks and their run history
Alerts	Triggered conditions (e.g. agent offline, cost spike)
Webhooks	Inbound and outbound webhook logs
Pipelines	Multi-step agent workflows and their current state

What's included

Every Builderz Mission Control deployment includes:

Next.js — server-side rendered dashboard and API routes
SQLite — embedded database (zero external dependencies)
WebSocket + SSE — real-time push updates throughout
Caddy — automatic HTTPS with Let's Encrypt (when using a custom domain)

Pricing

You pay your cloud provider directly for the server (typically $4-6/month for the recommended 1GB spec). HowToDeploy charges a small monthly management fee for monitoring and support.
