Markdown access

Every page in Vercel's documentation is available as markdown. This makes it straightforward to feed specific documentation pages into AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other AI tool.

Append .md to any documentation URL to get the markdown version of that page.

Example:

• HTML: https://vercel.com/docs/functions
• Markdown: https://vercel.com/docs/functions.md

The markdown version includes features such as: full page content in plain markdown format, metadata for agents, code blocks with syntax highlighting markers, links preserved as markdown links, and tables formatted as markdown tables.

You can use these endpoints in various ways:

# Fetch documentation content with curl
curl https://vercel.com/docs/functions.md
 
# Pipe directly to an AI tool
curl https://vercel.com/docs/functions.md | pbcopy

Every documentation page includes a "Copy as Markdown" button in the page sidebar. Click this button to copy the entire page content as markdown to your clipboard.

You can also use the Copy section button to copy all pages in a section as markdown to your clipboard. This is particularly useful for sections such as functions, deployments, or Sandbox that have many pages.

This is the fastest way to:

• Copy documentation for a specific topic
• Paste it into your AI assistant's context
• Ask questions about that specific feature

Here are some patterns for using Vercel documentation with AI tools:

When you need help with a specific feature, copy that page's markdown and include it in your prompt:

Here is the Vercel Functions documentation:

[paste markdown content]

Based on this, how do I set up a function with a 60 second timeout?

For complex tasks, combine multiple relevant pages:

I need to deploy a Next.js app with custom domains. Here is the relevant documentation:

## Deploying
[paste deploying.md]

## Custom Domains
[paste domains.md]

Help me set this up step by step.

In tools like Cursor, you can add documentation URLs to your project rules so the AI always has access to relevant Vercel documentation.
