Cursor

How to use Vercel with Cursor

You want Vercel inside Cursor so it can diagnose failed deployments, ship a reviewed production deployment, configure a new Vercel project, and check and fix project domains — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.

Create your Vercel gateway

The gateway is the thing Cursor connects to, and it is where you decide which Vercel tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.

Create an Arcade account

Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Vercel tools

In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Vercel tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
Copy your gateway URL

Every client below needs it.
```
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
```

Create a Vercel gateway Opens the gateway builder in your Arcade dashboard.

Connect the gateway to Cursor

Heads up

Cursor does not refresh MCP OAuth tokens automatically. For a persistent connection, set Authorization to “Arcade Headers” on the gateway in the dashboard.

Open MCP settings

Command Palette (⌘⇧P / Ctrl+Shift+P) → Open MCP Settings, then click “New MCP Server”.

Add the gateway to mcpServers

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-arcade": {
      "url": "https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>"
    }
  }
}

Use a scoped Vercel credential and permissions to limit what the agent can do. Pair it with Contextual Access policies to require approval before it can create, promote, roll back, or delete production deployments.
