Credentials on demand
Request Replicas credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.
Access for the right subject
Request user-authorized Replicas access so actions follow the identity and permissions of the person using your application.
Centralized credential management
Manage Replicas credentials in one place and retrieve them through a consistent runtime API.
Vercel-native controls
Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.
Use Replicas with your stack
Follow a complete setup for the Connect SDK or a supported agent framework.
Add Replicas to an existing Vercel application with the Connect SDK.
