Vercel Plugin for AI Coding Agents

The Vercel plugin gives supported AI coding tools Vercel-specific context, skills, agents, and slash commands. The default installation keeps automation lightweight and activates session-start context only in empty directories and detected Vercel, Next.js, or eve projects.

• One of the supported tools
• Node.js 18 or later
• Bun

npx plugins add vercel/vercel-plugin

The plugin installs Vercel context, skills, and a lightweight default hook profile.

OpenCode 2 uses its own plugin command and doesn't need Node.js or Bun:

opencode plugin add github:vercel/vercel-plugin

To connect the Vercel MCP server, run /mcps in OpenCode, select vercel, and sign in. Slash commands use the vercel: prefix, such as /vercel:deploy prod. Run opencode plugin update to get new versions.

After installation, session context is injected automatically only for empty directories and detected Vercel, Next.js, or eve projects. You can invoke skills and commands directly when you want targeted guidance:

/vercel-plugin:build-agents
/vercel-plugin:ai-sdk
/vercel-plugin:deploy prod

The plugin installs into these coding tools. Each tool has its own installation flow.

After installation, the plugin keeps automatic behavior lightweight. Session-start activation runs only in empty directories and detected Vercel, Next.js, or eve projects, and Vercel skills are not auto-injected on every prompt or every tool call by default.

The skills remain available on demand, and the plugin includes the injection engine for targeted or future opt-in workflows.

• Session start context injection: Injects a thin Vercel session context plus knowledge-update guidance for empty directories and detected Vercel, Next.js, or eve projects
• Session start repo profiler: Scans config files and dependencies to set likely-skill hints after the same activation check passes

The plugin includes 33 skills covering the Vercel ecosystem:

The plugin doesn't ship Next.js skills. Next.js includes version-matched docs for agents, and you can add its workflow skills with npx skills add vercel/next.js. See the Next.js AI agents guide.

The plugin includes three specialist agents:

Use slash commands directly in your AI coding tool:

To deploy to production, pass prod as an argument:

/vercel-plugin:deploy prod

Prompt text and bash and tool-call telemetry are not collected.

Telemetry behavior:

• If VERCEL_PLUGIN_TELEMETRY is unset, the plugin sends a once-per-day dau:active_today event, and a skill:invoked event with the name of each plugin skill your agent loads
• VERCEL_PLUGIN_TELEMETRY=off disables all telemetry, including both events

To disable telemetry in shells that launch your AI coding tool:

export VERCEL_PLUGIN_TELEMETRY=off

setx VERCEL_PLUGIN_TELEMETRY off

If the plugin is not behaving as expected, enable debug logging with VERCEL_PLUGIN_LOG_LEVEL:

export VERCEL_PLUGIN_LOG_LEVEL=debug

Available log levels:

You can also run the built-in doctor command:

npx vercel-plugin doctor

The doctor command validates manifest parity, checks hook timeout risk, verifies dedup health, and reports skill map issues.

If a skill gives incorrect advice or injection does not fire when expected, file an issue on GitHub. Include:

• What you were building
• What the plugin injected, or did not inject. Enable debug logs with VERCEL_PLUGIN_LOG_LEVEL=debug
• What was wrong about it
