What does vercel do?

vercel is a Claude Code plugin that installs 37 skills, three agents, four commands, two session-start hooks and a link to Vercel's MCP server. The skills cover the AI SDK, AI Gateway, Functions, Queues, Sandboxes, domains, environment variables and CI/CD, among others. The agents focus on deployment, performance and AI app design. The commands are /vercel-plugin:deploy, /vercel-plugin:env, /vercel-plugin:status and /vercel-plugin:bootstrap, which links a project and sets up env vars and a database. The hooks add Vercel context only in empty folders or detected Vercel or Next.js projects. The MCP server reads projects and logs and creates deployments.
