Deploy GitHub repositories instantly with automatic builds and preview URLs

​
Capabilities

Once connected, your agent can deploy GitHub repositories to Vercel and manage deployments.
  • Deploy GitHub repos to production or preview
  • Automatic framework detection (Next.js, React, Vue, etc.)
  • Get instant preview URLs for testing
  • Track deployment status in real-time
  • List all deployments for a project
  • Zero configuration for most frameworks
  • Automatic HTTPS and CDN distribution
  • Environment variable support via dashboard

​
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 like openclaw-container and set an expiration date.

​
3. Store the token in Environment

Go to Environment and create a new variable:
  • Name: VERCEL_TOKEN Value: 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 have GITHUB_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

Ask your agent to deploy repositories using natural language. Deploy to preview
“Deploy my charity-transparency repo from the main branch to Vercel preview”
Deploy to production
“Deploy myorg/myapp from the main branch to production on Vercel”
List deployments
“Show me the last 10 deployments for my-project on Vercel”
Tip: Vercel automatically detects your framework (Next.js, React, Vue, etc.) and configures the build settings. For custom configurations, use the Vercel dashboard.
