How to use it with AI

How Vercel connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.

Platform	MCP / connector	API (agent-written code)	Browser	Upload / export
Claude (incl. Claude Code)	Confirmed Vercel's docs name Claude (incl. Claude Code) Vercel docs ↗Claude (incl. Claude Code) MCP docs ↗	Confirmed Claude (incl. Claude Code) can run code; Vercel publishes an API. Vercel API ↗Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗	Confirmed Claude Code with the Claude in Chrome extension (Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers) Claude (incl. Claude Code) browser docs ↗	Confirmed Export from Vercel, then works on the files in your project; chat accepts attachments Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗
OpenAI Codex	Confirmed Vercel's docs name OpenAI Codex Vercel docs ↗OpenAI Codex MCP docs ↗	Confirmed OpenAI Codex can run code; Vercel publishes an API. Vercel API ↗OpenAI Codex docs ↗	Confirmed Only in the ChatGPT desktop app; not in the Codex CLI or IDE extension OpenAI Codex browser docs ↗	Confirmed Export from Vercel, then works on local repositories OpenAI Codex docs ↗
Google Antigravity	Not documented Vercel has an official MCP server and Google Antigravity supports MCP, but Vercel's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ. Vercel MCP docs ↗Google Antigravity MCP docs ↗	Confirmed Google Antigravity can run code; Vercel publishes an API. Vercel API ↗Google Antigravity docs ↗	Confirmed Browser subagent via /browser, documented as an Antigravity App feature; the IDE has separate browser docs Google Antigravity browser docs ↗	Confirmed Export from Vercel, then works on local projects and worktrees Google Antigravity docs ↗

Vercel's docs also name: ChatGPT, Gemini.

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
