What Vercel shipped

Vercel Tracing is generally available on all plans, with a new Traces page for searching spans and traces via KQL, CLI trace search, and tracing on by default for new Next.js projects.

Vercel CLI can set a new project to expire at deploy time with --delete-project-after, supporting durations from 1h to 30d; the flag only applies when the deploy creates the project.

Chat SDK agents can stream generative UI via json-render, which converts a typed component catalog into native cards for each platform, with streamCard updating messages as elements arrive.

Vercel Schedules enters public beta on all plans, supporting recurring or one-time tasks in production, preview, and custom environments, with schedules in vercel.json or created at runtime.

Vercel partnered with Truffle Security to detect and revoke exposed Vercel tokens found in more public sources, and a scanner checks monthly Common Crawl data.

The Workflow SDK's start() function now admits a run and claims a hook atomically, so duplicate starts fail safely and a hook token alone can serve as the idempotency key.

Vercel CLI adds vercel doctor, which checks the CLI install, login, team, project link and configuration, reports each check's status, and suggests fixing commands, with optional JSON output.

Vercel CI can now run on a private GitHub repository without a linked Vercel project, though the GitHub App, a connected account, and write or admin permission are required.

Vercel Security Review entered public beta for Pro and Enterprise teams, automatically reviewing code pushed to connected GitHub repositories for vulnerabilities and reporting findings in the dashboard.

Builds now check for blocked npm package versions before and during dependency installation to stop malicious install scripts. On detection, the deployment fails, the package and version are named, and the build cache is invalidated.

Project Connections let applications evaluate flags from another project in the same team without managing SDK keys, authenticating via deployment identity with read-only access that can be revoked without redeploying.

Sandboxes that mount Drives now start faster, with median creation time down from 1.7s to 0.7s, applied automatically at the same pricing.

Flags Explorer in the Vercel Toolbar has been redesigned to group overrides, branch recommendations and related actions together, and recommends branch overrides to teammates through a dialog.

Vercel MCP can display deployments as an interactive card in chat clients that support MCP Apps, showing status, build logs and commit details; clients without support get the same information as text.

MCP clients can connect to Vercel MCP by publishing a Client ID Metadata Document instead of being reviewed and allowlisted by Vercel first. Each connection still requires login and approval.

Projects can now be configured with vercel.toml, which supports the same properties as vercel.json plus comments and a flatter structure. Only one configuration file should be used per project.

Vercel Daemons can now be configured with HTTP liveness checks that periodically request an endpoint and restart the container when the check fails.

Vercel Daemons can now call services in their deployment through service bindings, with Vercel handling internal routing, authentication, and TLS while the service stays private.

Data Cache is leaving beta and moving to Runtime Cache, with Next.js fetch caching and unstable_cache switching over without code changes. Storage allocations rise and previously unbilled reads and writes become charged at Runtime Cache rates.

The Vercel Plugin is available in the Google Antigravity marketplace, offering guidance on Vercel APIs and patterns.

Node.js 26 LTS is generally available for builds and Vercel Functions, and is the default for new projects. Existing projects whose engines.node range allows 26 will upgrade on next deployment.

The Vercel Flags SDK initializes faster on cold starts, with the datafile loaded at client creation and revision checks needing no network request, and usage reporting no longer extends function duration.

The Vercel Plugin is available in OpenCode 2, providing guidance on Vercel APIs and patterns plus specialist agents and deploy and environment variable commands.

Vercel CLI version 64.2.0 and later can enable Web Analytics and Observability Plus without an interactive terminal; Observability Plus requires a team subscription.

The Paseo Vercel Sandbox plugin lets you run agents in the cloud, start a session from a laptop and control it from a phone, with key entry once during setup.

Vercel Agent can investigate monitor alerts before they reach your paging system, sending only those it classifies as Critical to a webhook destination when validation is enabled.

Vercel Container Registry now accepts compressed image layers up to 2 GB, up from 500 MB, while the total image size limit stays at 15 GB.

Box Mount runs in Vercel Sandbox in private preview, syncing a Box folder with a sandbox directory so agents can read and write Box files through filesystem operations.

Vercel CI is in beta, letting Turborepo projects run CI with one line of configuration. It runs only affected tasks, caches tasks and dependencies, and installs dependencies once per run.

Vercel Agent sessions now cost 67% less on average after changes to context management, prompt-cache reuse, and CLI skills, with billing rates unchanged.

The CLI can now search and filter over 1000 services in Vercel Connect with vercel connect discover and list filter categories, requiring version 64.1.0 or later.
