Vercel CLI

Vercel CLI skill for deploying and managing Vercel projects from the terminal. Use when the user wants to deploy, list, inspect, rollback, or manage Vercel deployments; configure domains, SSL certificates, environment variables; manage teams or view usage; or needs help with vercel CLI commands.

Environment Setup

Install Vercel CLI:

pnpm i -g vercel

Update:

pnpm i -g vercel@latest

Verify Version:

vercel --version

Authentication

Interactive Login:

vercel login

CI/CD Environment (Recommended):

1. Create an access token on the Tokens page
2. Set the VERCEL_TOKEN environment variable

Prefer using the VERCEL_TOKEN environment variable over the --token flag to avoid exposing the token in process lists or logs.

Core Workflows

Deployment

vercel                      # Deploy to preview environment
vercel deploy --prod        # Deploy to production environment
vercel build                # Build locally
vercel dev                  # Develop locally simulating Vercel environment

Project Linking

vercel init                 # Initialize from official template
vercel link                 # Link local directory to Vercel project
vercel pull                 # Pull remote environment variables to local

Deployment Management

vercel list [project]       # List recent deployments
vercel inspect [url/id]     # View deployment details (add --logs for build logs)
vercel logs [url]           # View runtime logs (--follow for real-time tracking)
vercel promote [url/id]     # Promote specified deployment to production
vercel redeploy [url/id]    # Rebuild and redeploy
vercel rollback             # Rollback production environment
vercel remove [url]         # Remove deployment or project
vercel bisect               # Bisect to locate problematic deployment

Domains and Certificates

vercel alias set [url] [domain]   # Set custom domain
vercel alias rm [domain]          # Remove domain alias
vercel domains ls                 # List domains
vercel domains add [domain]       # Add domain
vercel certs ls                   # List SSL certificates
vercel certs issue [domain]       # Issue certificate for domain

Environment Variables

vercel env ls                     # List environment variables
vercel env add [name] [env]       # Add (env optional: production/preview/development)
vercel env rm [name] [env]        # Remove environment variable
vercel env pull [file]            # Pull to local file

Account and Teams

vercel whoami                    # Current logged-in username
vercel teams list                # List teams
vercel switch [team]             # Switch team
vercel usage                     # View usage and billing

Advanced Tools

vercel api [endpoint]           # Make authenticated API request (Beta)
vercel curl [path]              # HTTP request (Beta)
vercel cache purge              # Purge CDN cache
vercel blob                     # Vercel Blob storage operations
vercel integration              # Manage integrations
vercel mcp                      # MCP client configuration

Key Notes

• Most commands support --help for detailed parameters: vercel help [command]
• vercel is equivalent to vercel deploy
• --prod / --production flag deploys to production environment
• --follow for logs command enables real-time log tracking
• Use VERCEL_TOKEN environment variable for automated authentication; do not expose token on the command line
