Cursor config for Vercel MCP Server (remote)

Add remote MCP server URL https://mcp.vercel.com in your client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vercel-mcp-server-remote": {
      "url": "https://mcp.vercel.com",

Remote server — no local install needed. Restart the client after saving the config.

2Paste the Vercel MCP Server (remote) config below into the "mcpServers" object.
3Fill in placeholder secrets, then save.
4Cursor reloads MCP servers automatically — check Settings → MCP for a green status dot.
5Ask Cursor to use one of Vercel MCP Server (remote)'s tools to confirm it's connected.

Vercel MCP Server (remote) + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste the Vercel MCP Server (remote) config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is Vercel MCP Server (remote) safe to use with Cursor?

Is it a local or remote server?

Remote and hosted by Vercel at https://mcp.vercel.com. You connect over Streamable HTTP with OAuth — there's no binary to install or run locally.

How do I authenticate?

Via OAuth. When your client first connects it opens a browser to authorize access; the agent then has the same access as your Vercel user account.

Only Vercel-reviewed clients: Claude Code, Claude.ai/Desktop, ChatGPT, Codex CLI, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Devin, Raycast, Goose, Windsurf, and Gemini. Note Claude.ai/ChatGPT custom connectors require paid plans.
