## Before you start

- A Vercel account. Vercel MCP is available on all plans and use is subject to Vercel's AI Product Terms.
- Vercel MCP accepts clients that Vercel has reviewed and approved, or clients that identify themselves with a Client ID Metadata Document (CIMD). Users still approve each connection.
- Connecting grants the AI client the same access as your Vercel user account. Team permissions and the OAuth grant affect which tools are available.

## Steps

1. **Open Vercel's MCP setup instructions for your client** <https://vercel.com/docs/agent-resources/vercel-mcp>
2. **Add the Vercel MCP server to your client** Add https://mcp.vercel.com as a remote MCP server that uses the Streamable HTTP transport (often labelled "http"). Vercel publishes one-click installs for Cursor, VS Code and Goose, and an add-mcp tool that configures detected clients. Confirm that you are connecting to the official endpoint.
3. **Sign in to Vercel and approve access in the OAuth window**
4. **List the server's tools**
