How to Use Vercel MCP with Claude Code

What is the Vercel MCP?

The Vercel MCP connects Claude Code to the Vercel platform API, giving it the ability to deploy projects, inspect deployment build logs, read runtime logs, manage domains, and interact with Vercel's collaboration toolbar — all without leaving your development environment.

Installation

mcpizy install vercel

Generate a Vercel API token at vercel.com/account/tokens and provide it during setup. The MCP will detect your team and project context automatically.

Key Capabilities

• Deploy projects — trigger deployments to preview or production environments.
• List and inspect deployments — view deployment status, URLs, and metadata.
• Read build and runtime logs — fetch logs from any deployment for debugging.
• Manage projects and teams — list projects, check team membership, and inspect project configuration.
• Check domain availability — verify if a domain is available to purchase before configuring it.

Example Usage

Your preview deployment is failing. Ask Claude to diagnose it:

// Claude will:
// 1. List the last 5 deployments for your project
// 2. Identify the failed deployment
// 3. Fetch its build logs
// 4. Pinpoint the error and suggest a fix

Tips and Best Practices

• Use deployment aliases — ask Claude to fetch the deployment URL and open it in Playwright for visual testing.
• Combine with the GitHub MCP to trigger deployments on PR creation and post the preview URL as a comment.
• Use the runtime logs tool to debug serverless function errors that only appear in production.
• Scope your API token to your team only to prevent access to other Vercel workspaces.
