## What it does

This MCP server connects an agent to the Vercel REST API. It can list projects and deployments, inspect a deployment by ID or URL, read build events, and query runtime application logs with filters.

Tools are split into `readonly` and `readwrite` groups. Read-only access covers projects, deployments, and logs; write access adds deployment creation, cancellation, deletion, promotion, and rollback. Set `VERCEL_ENABLED_TOOLGROUPS` to control the groups, and use `VERCEL_TEAM_ID` or `VERCEL_TEAM_SLUG` for team-scoped operations.

You need a Vercel account, an API token in `VERCEL_TOKEN`, and Node.js 18+. Without `VERCEL_TOKEN`, the server cannot call the API. For runtime debugging, find the project ID with `list_projects`, then narrow results by time, level, source, or error status.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `VERCEL_TOKEN`, `VERCEL_TEAM_ID`, `VERCEL_TEAM_SLUG`, `VERCEL_ENABLED_TOOLGROUPS` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**

## When to use it
- check the state of recent deployments
- trace failures in build logs
- filter runtime application logs
- promote a preview deployment to production
- roll back to an earlier deployment

## Example prompts
- Show the latest Vercel deployments and filter for failed ones.
- Find runtime errors in the latest deployment of `my-app` from the last 24 hours.
- Roll back project `prj_xyz789` to the previous deployment.
