Lets your AI assistant check deployments, read logs, manage projects and domains, and search Vercel docs.

This is Vercel's own server. It lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants check deployments, read build and runtime logs, manage projects and domains, and search Vercel docs. It works with your full Vercel account rights, so it can deploy to production, edit environment variables and read decrypted secrets. It is for using Vercel from your assistant, not for hosting your own MCP server on Vercel, and only clients Vercel has approved can sign in.

Good for

  • Developers who want to find out why a deploy failed without leaving their assistant
  • Teams who want an assistant to read runtime errors and logs for a production issue
  • Anyone who wants to ship a preview or share a protected preview link from chat
  • Developers checking and registering domains from the same chat

Install Vercel MCP

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Add the Vercel MCP server to Claude Code. Run this command:

claude mcp add --transport http vercel https://mcp.vercel.com

Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Vercel account.

After adding, type /mcp and sign in with Vercel. Connecting gives the assistant the same access as your Vercel account; keep human confirmation on. Grant access to each team during sign-in or its projects stay hidden. The vercel mcp CLI command can also configure Claude Code; vercel mcp --project binds the session to the linked project.

Tools

We don't list Vercel MCP's tools here yet. After you connect it, ask your assistant "What can you do with Vercel MCP?" to see them.

Pros and cons

Good

  • Made and run by Vercel.
  • Sign in with your Vercel account, with no token to copy.
  • Covers deployments, logs, projects, domains and Web Analytics.
  • A project-scoped address limits a session to one project.
  • Free on all Vercel plans.
  • Vercel asks for your consent on each client connection.

Watch out

  • Only clients Vercel approved can sign in.
  • No read-only mode on the hosted server.
  • Can deploy to production and read decrypted secrets.
  • Can spend money after you confirm.
  • Some tools fail in Claude Code and the Codex desktop app.
  • Cannot deploy a local project from your laptop.

Permissions

high risk · 7 things to watch

High risk

An assistant, or hidden text in your logs, can deploy to production, edit environment variables and read decrypted secrets with your full account rights. Use a project-scoped address and approve every write by hand.

What it can do

  • Read your data
  • Create and change things
  • Delete things
  • Read-only mode

Watch out for

  • Can deploy straight to production

    The deploy tools accept a production target, so an assistant can ship code live, not just previews. Require confirmation for every write call in your client. vercel.com

  • Reads decrypted secrets and edits env vars

    Tools return decrypted project and shared environment variable values and can create or overwrite variables. A tricked assistant could leak them, so use a project-scoped address and keep secrets out of reach where you can. vercel.com

  • Hidden text in logs can steer the assistant

    Vercel warns that prompt injection could make an agent leak private deployment logs. Do not let it act on instructions that appear inside logs or comments. vercel.com

  • Can spend money after you confirm

    The assistant can upgrade a team to Pro, buy credits or add-ons and register domains. Vercel shows the price and waits for you, and it needs a billing role. vercel.com

  • Can rewrite DNS and cancel deployments

    One tool replaces a domain's whole record set and another stops builds, so a mistake can take a site offline. Read each proposed change before you approve it. vercel.com

  • Same access as your Vercel account

    There are no narrower permissions, so the client acts as you in the teams you grant. A project-scoped address ties a session to one project. vercel.com

  • Only Vercel-approved clients can sign in

    Vercel reviews each client and asks for consent on every connection. That blocks lookalike apps but also locks out unlisted agents. vercel.com

Security advisories

No published security advisories as of Nov 1, 2026.

Technical details
Turning on read-onlyThere is no read-only switch on the hosted server. Access follows your Vercel account and the teams you grant. A project-scoped address (vercel mcp --project) limits it to one project and drops the general deploy tool, and a client-side tool allowlist can keep only read tools.

Sign-in and keysSign in with your Vercel account in the browser and grant each team. Vercel asks for consent on every client connection.

Alternatives

Use Vercel MCP to work with your Vercel account from an assistant. Pick next-devtools-mcp for live errors from a Next.js dev server on your machine; the community token-based server works outside Vercel's approved list but has had no commits since February 2025.

What people say

People value that Vercel answers allowlist requests fast and dislike that unlisted clients are shut out.

What people like

  • Vercel answered an allowlist request quickly: staff opened a ticket the same day and the client worked the next day.

Common complaints

  • Only Vercel-approved clients can connect, and users of other agents call the allowlist gatekeeping.
  • Clients that send non-standard headers get a bare 406 error with no hint on what the server expects.
  • Some listed tools fail in practice, such as get_project in Claude Code and the deploy tool in the Codex desktop app.

In their words

GitHub issueOct 2026
“Gatekeeping your MCP server is antithetical to the reason the protocol was developed.”
kevinschaichGitHub issueOct 2026
“If I trust my agents and accept the risk, I should be permitted to do whatever I want as a paying customer. The alternative is rewriting a custom integration.”

“The Vercel MCP connector authenticates successfully and lists my team, but it cannot access the team-owned project.”

Questions

Why does sign-in fail with invalid_redirect_uri?

Your client is not on Vercel's approved list, so Vercel refuses its sign-in. Approved clients are Claude Code, Claude.ai and Claude desktop, ChatGPT, Codex CLI, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Devin, Raycast, Goose, Windsurf, Gemini Code Assist, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and Pi.

My client is not on the list. Can I still use it?

Not through standard sign-in. Client builders can submit Vercel's client review form, and Vercel has approved clients on request through its community forum.

Is Vercel MCP read-only?

No longer. It launched read-only in August 2025, but it can now deploy code (including to production), edit environment variables, change DNS and make purchases after you confirm.

Can it read my environment variable secrets?

Yes. It returns decrypted values for project and shared variables, and other tools can create or edit them.

How do I limit it to one project?

Use a project-scoped address of the form https://mcp.vercel.com/<org>/<project>. Running vercel mcp --project in a linked project sets it up, and scoped connections do not get the general deploy tool.

Why can't my assistant see my team's projects?

Adding the server is not enough. You must sign in and grant the connection access to each team, so check you used the right account and granted that team.

Does Vercel MCP cost anything?

It is available on all Vercel plans under Vercel's AI Product Terms. Purchases you make through it, such as domains or a Pro upgrade, are charged after you confirm.

Is this the same as hosting an MCP server on Vercel?

No. This server lets your assistant work with your Vercel account. To host your own MCP server on Vercel, Vercel documents the mcp-handler package.

What is the Vercel MCP server URL?

The address is https://mcp.vercel.com. Check you typed exactly that before you sign in.

How do I add it to all my AI tools at once?

Use the quick setup command in the install box above. It detects your installed clients and configures each one, and you then sign in from each client.
