Summary

Vercel Connect is now generally available as a platform for connecting applications and AI agents to more than 100 services, including Slack, GitHub, Snowflake, Shopify, and custom OAuth or API-key services, without storing long-lived provider credentials in application environments. Instead, applications use their Vercel deployment’s OIDC identity to request short-lived, automatically refreshed tokens at runtime, with permissions scoped to individual tasks, repositories, users, or services where supported. The service aims to reduce credential rotation, leakage, and revocation risks while enabling agents to act either as an application or on behalf of a user through consent-based authorization. General availability adds governance features such as role-based access controls, audit logs, token and trigger observability, per-environment connector configuration, and centralized revocation. Connect also handles inbound provider events through Triggers, verifying webhook signatures and forwarding OIDC-attested events without requiring apps to store bot tokens or signing secrets. It integrates with Vercel tools and frameworks including eve, Chat SDK, AI SDK, MCP, Auth.js, Better Auth, Workflows, and v0, and is available on all plans with free Hobby allowances and usage-based pricing for Pro and Enterprise customers.
