What is Waymaker Host?
Learn about What is Waymaker Host? in WaymakerOS.
Waymaker Host is the build layer of WaymakerOS. While Commander gives you 20 tools for daily operations, Host lets you build custom software on top of that foundation — apps, serverless functions, and automations that connect to your organization's data.
The Build Layer
Every business needs software that no one else will build for them. Host makes that possible:
- Apps — Deploy frontend applications to Cloudflare's global CDN — 330+ cities, sub-50ms latency, automatic SSL and DDoS protection. Link a GitHub repo and every push triggers a build.
- Ambassadors — Serverless functions that run your business logic on Cloudflare's edge network — 330+ locations worldwide. Scheduled tasks, webhooks, API integrations — anything that needs to happen automatically.
- Custom Domains — Put your brand on everything. Full SSL, DNS verification, and automatic provisioning.
How It Works
Host connects three things:
- Your code — stored in GitHub repositories
- Your hosting — Cloudflare's global CDN for apps, Cloudflare's edge network for ambassadors
- Your data — Commander tables, goals, tasks, and documents via the Waymaker API
When you push code to GitHub, Host automatically builds and deploys it. Environment variables connect your apps to external services. Custom domains put your brand on the result.
Two Ways to Build
Through Conversation (Claude Desktop / Claude Code)
Connect the Waymaker MCP server to Claude Desktop or Claude Code. Then say things like:
- "Create a new app called customer-portal from my GitHub repo"
- "Deploy my app and set up portal.acme.com as a custom domain"
- "Create an ambassador that checks inventory levels every 6 hours"
Claude handles the API calls. You describe what you want.
Through the CLI
The Waymaker CLI gives you direct control:
waymaker host apps list
waymaker host apps create --name "customer-portal" --repo https://github.com/org/repo
waymaker host apps deploy <app-id>
waymaker host domains setup <app-id> --domain portal.acme.com
What You Can Build
- Customer portals that read from Commander tables
- Internal dashboards that display goals and KPIs
- Webhook receivers that create tasks automatically
- Scheduled reports that email stakeholders
- API integrations that sync data between systems
- Landing pages with custom domains
