Set up your coding agent

Set up the agent you code with, and the platform for the agents you ship. This prompt hands your agent the Vercel agent setup playbook, the same one the Onboard your agent button uses:

Agent Prompt

Set up Vercel for me. Fetch https://vercel.com/get-started.md and follow it.

Vercel Plugin

Give your coding agent deployment skills, framework best practices, and slash commands. Works with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Grok Build, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Kimi Code.

Agent Skills

Install skills for any agent that supports them, covering Next.js, the AI SDK, Turborepo, and deploying to Vercel.

Vercel MCPBeta

Let your agent search the docs, manage projects and deployments, and query Web Analytics through the Vercel MCP server.

Vercel Connect

Give your agent short-lived tokens to call Slack, GitHub, Microsoft, Snowflake, or any OAuth or API-key service, and act on behalf of users, without storing provider secrets.

Claim Deployments

Let your agent deploy apps for users, then transfer ownership with a claim URL so each deployment lands in the user's own Vercel account.

Containers

Run your agent's runtime and tools from a Docker image on Vercel Functions, or give Sandbox a custom image for the code your agent executes.

What's new

The latest changes across the Vercel platform. Browse the full changelog for everything that shipped.

Build with AI

AI Gateway

Call hundreds of models through one endpoint with the AI SDK, any OpenAI-compatible SDK, or cURL, with budgets, fallbacks, and usage monitoring.

AI SDK

Build chat, agents, and structured output in TypeScript with streaming and tool calling across React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, and Node.js.

eve

Deploy and run durable backend AI agents built with eve, an open-source, filesystem-first agent framework.

Sandbox

Run untrusted or agent-generated code in isolated, ephemeral execution environments.

Workflows

Build durable, observable applications and AI agents with the Workflow SDK on a fully managed platform.

MCP Servers

Build and deploy Model Context Protocol servers so agents can call your APIs and systems as tools.

Build your app

Next.js

Deploy Next.js with zero configuration, or bring one of 40+ supported frameworks.

Functions

Run server-side code on demand with Fluid compute, which scales concurrency for AI and I/O-heavy workloads.

Routing Middleware

Run code before a request completes to rewrite, redirect, or personalize responses.

Incremental Static Regeneration

Regenerate static pages on a schedule or on demand without rebuilding your whole site.

Image Optimization

Resize and convert images on demand and serve them from the CDN in modern formats.

Environments

Manage local, preview, production, and custom environments and the variables each one uses.

Secure your app

Web Application Firewall

Block attacks, scrapers, and unwanted traffic with custom rules, IP blocking, and managed rulesets.

Bot Management

Detect automated traffic and decide which bots can reach your app.

BotID

Protect sensitive routes from sophisticated bots with an invisible check instead of a CAPTCHA.

Deployment Protection

Control who can open your preview and production URLs with Vercel Authentication, passwords, or trusted IPs.

Deploy and operate

Deploy from Git

Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket to deploy on every push, with a preview URL for every branch.

Domains

Add a custom domain, manage DNS records, and get SSL certificates automatically.

CDN

Cache responses close to your users and control routing, compression, and revalidation for every deployment.

Rolling ReleasesPro and Enterprise

Send a new deployment to a percentage of traffic first, then promote it or roll back.

Instant Rollback

Revert production to a previous deployment without a rebuild when something breaks.

Observability

Monitor traffic, function performance, and errors with framework-aware insights across your apps and AI workflows.

Guides and tutorials

Go deeper with guides, videos, and tutorials from the Vercel Knowledge Base:

Agent Stack

Build AI agents, integrate language models, and deploy AI-powered apps.

Backend

Server-side patterns, API routes, database connections, and compute.

Services

Deploy multiple frontends and backends within a single Vercel project.

Security

Protect your apps with authentication, firewall rules, and compliance guides.

Integrations

Connect third-party tools, CMSs, and services to your Vercel project.

Migrations

Bring your existing apps, agents, and workflows to Vercel.
