Vercel MCP Pro ▲

The most complete Vercel MCP server — 70 tools covering the entire Vercel REST API (deployments, projects, env vars, domains, DNS, aliases, certs, logs, checks, webhooks, edge config, teams) plus a vercel_raw escape hatch and a readonly safety mode.

Works in any MCP client — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT — using a Vercel access token (no OAuth flow required). Ships with an optional /vercel skill that drives the Vercel CLI for terminal deploys.

Why this and not the official one?

Install

npx -y vercel-mcp-pro

Or clone and build locally:

git clone https://github.com/helbertparanhos/vercel-mcp-pro
cd vercel-mcp-pro
npm install && npm run build

Configuration

1. Create a token at https://vercel.com/account/settings/tokens.

2. Copy .env.example → .env and fill it in:

Add to your client

Claude Code

claude mcp add vercel-mcp-pro -- npx -y vercel-mcp-pro

Or in this project's .claude/settings.json → mcpServers:

"vercel": {
  "command": "node",
  "args": ["projects/vercel-mcp-pro/dist/index.js"],
  "env": {
    "VERCEL_TOKEN": "your_token",
    "VERCEL_TEAM_ID": "team_xxx"
  }
}

Claude Desktop

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) / ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (Mac):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vercel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "vercel-mcp-pro"],
      "env": { "VERCEL_TOKEN": "your_token", "VERCEL_TEAM_ID": "team_xxx" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Paste the same config into .cursor/mcp.json.

Escape hatch (1)

vercel_raw — call any Vercel REST endpoint (method + full versioned path + params + body). Guarantees 100% coverage even for niche/new endpoints (marketplace, sandboxes, feature-flags, access-groups, rolling-release…). Auto-injects your team scope; honored by readonly mode for GETs.

Common recipes

Diagnose a failed deploy

list_deployments(projectId:"my-app", state:"ERROR")  →  get_build_logs(idOrUrl:"dpl_...")

Ship a preview to production (no rebuild)

promote_deployment(projectId:"my-app", deploymentId:"dpl_...")

Roll back fast

rollback_deployment(projectId:"my-app", deploymentId:"dpl_previous")

Add an env var to all environments

create_env_var(projectId:"my-app", key:"API_KEY", value:"…", target:["production","preview","development"])

Anything not covered

vercel_raw(method:"GET", path:"/v1/security/firewall/config", params:{ projectId:"my-app" })

The /vercel CLI skill (bundled)

For terminal-driven deploys, this repo also ships a Claude Code skill in skill/ that drives the official Vercel CLI (vercel deploy, vercel logs, vercel env, vercel rollback). The MCP gives full API coverage in any client; the skill gives the smoothest git push → deploy loop in the terminal. They complement each other — see skill/SKILL.md.

Safety

• VERCEL_READONLY=true blocks every write/delete tool — only reads and vercel_raw GETs run. Ideal for audits and exploration.

• The vercel_raw path is sanitized (must start with a version segment like /v9/…; no scheme/host/traversal/control chars) and constrained to api.vercel.com.

• Auth, retries (429 with Retry-After, 5xx, network) and rate-limiting are handled for you. The token only ever travels in the Authorization header — never in a query string or log.

Security model — read this before trusting the guards

• VERCEL_READONLY blocks mutations, not reads of secrets. Read tools like list_env_vars (with decrypt:true), get_env_var and get_edge_config_items return decrypted values and still run in readonly mode — that's their purpose. If your environment must never surface secrets to the model, don't expose those tools / run against a least-privilege token.

• VERCEL_TEAM_ID is a convenience scope, not a security boundary. It sets the default team, but a caller can pass a different teamId/slug per call (including via vercel_raw). The real boundary is the token's own scope — use a token limited to the team/projects you intend to automate.

• Treat the token as production credentials. It grants the same access as your Vercel account/team. Prefer a scoped token, keep it in .env (gitignored) or your client's secret store, and rotate it if it's ever shared or pasted into a chat.
