Vercel API

Deployments, projects, domains, and serverless functions via REST.

Install
npm install -g vercel
MCP Alternative

There is an MCP server that covers similar functionality: Vercel MCP Server

Use the API when:

You need fine-grained control, custom error handling, or want to chain multiple API calls in a script.

Use the MCP when:

You want plug-and-play integration with Claude Code and don't need custom logic around the calls.
