Connect Vercel Alternative MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Vercel Alternative to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Track all project builds using the MCP Server.
The `list_deployments` tool shows every deployment for a given account or project. You get the ID, URL, status (like READY or ERROR), creation date, and even the git commit info. This means Windsurf can check if a recent push failed or if an old version is still running without you having to navigate through multiple dashboards.
Manage project settings from the MCP Server.
Need to tweak an environment variable? The `create_env_var` tool handles that. It requires a project ID, a key, and a value, letting you target specific environments like 'production' or 'preview'. If you need to clean house, the `delete_env_var` function lets you remove old variables entirely. Just remember: those values are gone for good.
Monitor and debug live runtime logs via MCP Server.
The `get_logs` tool pulls runtime log entries for a specific deployment. You can filter these logs by project ID or set time ranges using Unix timestamps. It returns the message, source, and timestamp, making it super useful when you're trying to figure out why a build failed in production.
