…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Vercel MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Vercel 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.
Discovering and Checking Project Configurations
Use `list_projects` to pull a full roster of every project in the account. This gives you an overview before diving deeper into specific settings. You can then drill down with `get_project_details`. It pulls all the configuration data for a single project, letting Cascade read exactly what's needed for the next steps.
Controlling Build Pipelines
Need an update? Running `trigger_github_deployment` kicks off a new build instantly using a specific Git ref and project name. This is how you tell Vercel to redeploy. If the build goes sideways, Cascade can use `list_deployments` to see recent runs. It also lets you halt a bad run immediately by invoking `cancel_active_build`.
Managing Domains and Project Lifecycles
`list_account_domains` shows every high-level apex domain Vercel manages for your account. This is crucial context when setting up new services. For setup, Cascade can `create_project` using a name and framework slug. When you're done with an old service, `delete_project` removes it permanently.
