Vercel runs its own MCP server, so start there. You sign in with your Vercel account in the browser, and it covers docs search, projects, deployments, logs and Web Analytics. It only accepts AI clients Vercel has approved, and it can deploy code, so Vercel advises turning on human confirmation. Community servers use an access token instead, and two of them have a read-only switch.
Good for
- Developers who want Claude Code or Cursor to check failed deployments and read build logs
- Next.js developers debugging a running dev server
- Teams who want an assistant that can look but not change
- Anyone on a client Vercel has not approved
Which Vercel MCP server to use
Use Vercel MCP if your AI tool is on Vercel's approved list. Pick Vercel MCP Pro or PulseMCP Vercel for a token or a read-only switch, and Next.js DevTools only to debug a local Next.js app.

Questions
Is there an official Vercel MCP server?
Yes. Vercel runs its own hosted server and says it is available on all plans. You sign in with your Vercel account in the browser, so you need no API key.
What is the Vercel MCP server URL?
It is https://mcp.vercel.com. Vercel's docs tell you to check you are connecting to that exact address.
Which AI tools can use Vercel's own server?
Vercel only allows clients it has reviewed. The docs list Claude Code, Claude.ai and Claude desktop, ChatGPT, Codex CLI, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and more. For a client that is not on the list, use a community server with an access token.
Does Vercel MCP work in ChatGPT?
Yes. ChatGPT is on Vercel's supported list. Open Plugins, add a custom MCP server, and enter the Vercel address. Access depends on your workspace permissions.
Does Vercel MCP work in Claude?
Yes. In Claude Code, run the add command from Vercel's docs, then type /mcp to sign in. In Claude.ai and Claude desktop, add a custom connector with the Vercel address. Vercel's docs say that needs a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan.
Can Vercel MCP change or delete things?
Yes. It manages projects and deployments, and it can deploy code. Vercel advises turning on human confirmation so you approve each change. If you only want to look, pick a community server with a read-only setting.
Which Vercel MCP server has a read-only mode?
PulseMCP Vercel lets you set VERCEL_ENABLED_TOOLGROUPS=readonly. Vercel MCP Pro has VERCEL_READONLY=true. Both are community servers that run on your machine with a Vercel access token.
Do the community servers need an API key?
Yes. PulseMCP Vercel, Vercel MCP Pro and Quegenx Vercel use a Vercel access token from your account's tokens page. Quegenx's README has you paste the token into two source files, so keep that copy private.
What does the Next.js DevTools MCP server do?
It connects your coding agent to a Next.js dev server running on your machine. The agent can read live runtime errors, routes and logs. It needs Next.js 16 or newer and Node.js 20.19 or newer, per its README.
Are these servers free?
Vercel MCP is available on all Vercel plans, under Vercel's AI product terms. The community servers here are MIT licensed. Whatever you do through them still counts against your Vercel plan.
