Setup Guide
Follow these steps to connect Vercel to your instances.1. Create a Vercel account
Go to vercel.com/signup and create an account. The Hobby plan is free and includes unlimited deployments.2. Generate an Access Token
Go to Account Settings → Tokens and create a new token. Give it a descriptive name likeopenclaw-container and set an expiration date.
3. Store the token in Environment
Go to Environment and create a new variable:- Name:
VERCEL_TOKENValue: Your Vercel Access Token (copy from step 2)
4. Ensure GitHub access
The Vercel skill requires a GitHub token to fetch repository details. Make sure you haveGITHUB_TOKEN configured in Environment with repo access permissions.
5. Grant access to instances
Choose how instances should access the token:- Option A: Global Access (All instances) — Toggle “Make globally accessible” when creating the secret.
- Option B: Instance-Specific (Selective access) — In Environment, open the secret and grant the specific instance access.
Usage Examples
