How to deploy to Vercel with Claude Code

Vercel scores 5/5 on our Claude Code fit scale: official Anthropic-marketplace plugin with MCP server + 33 skills. These steps use only Vercel’s and Anthropic’s official instructions; each step links its source.

1. 1

   Have Claude Code and a Vercel account ready

   You need Claude Code installed and an account with Vercel (vercel.com). Some tools only need the account when the agent first calls a live tool.

2. 2

   Install the official Vercel plugin

   Run this in Claude Code (or your terminal, as the source shows):

   /plugin install vercel@claude-plugins-official

   Copy

3. 3

   No marketplace setup needed

   This plugin is in Anthropic’s official marketplace (claude-plugins-official), which Claude Code adds automatically the first time you start an interactive session.

4. 4

   Connect and verify

   Run /mcp inside a Claude Code session to see connected servers, check status and complete sign-in where the server uses OAuth.

5. 5

   Let the skills do the SDK work

   The plugin bundles 34 skills that Claude loads when relevant, or you can call one directly with /skill-name.
