How do I create a Vercel Access Token?

Log in to the [**Vercel Dashboard**](https://vercel.com/account/tokens), go to **Settings > Access Tokens**, click **Create Token**, give it a name, select your team (optional) and scope. Copy the token immediately — it won't be shown again.

Can I manage environment variables via the agent?

Yes! Use `list_env_vars` to see all variable keys (values are hidden for security), `create_env_var` to add new ones with key, value and target environments (production, preview, development), and `delete_env_var` to remove them.

Can I cancel a running deployment?

Yes! Use `cancel_deployment` with the deployment ID to stop a build that is currently in progress. The deployment status will change to CANCELED. You can find the deployment ID from `list_deployments`.

How do I check my deployment history?

Use `list_deployments` optionally filtered by teamId and projectId to see recent deployments. Each entry shows the deployment URL, status (READY, BUILDING, ERROR), framework, git commit and creation date. Use `get_deployment` with a specific deployment ID for full details including build logs.

Vercel Alternative + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Vercel Alternative MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
