On August 25, 2026, Vercel announced that Vercel Connect was generally available on all plans and in v0, as the Vercel Connect changelog entry records. Code requested short-lived, scoped tokens at runtime instead of storing long-lived provider secrets.

What Vercel Connect included

Deployments authenticated with their existing Vercel OIDC identity, and each token was scoped to the task, refreshed automatically and expired on its own.
Connect shipped with more than 100 preset connectors, such as Notion and Workday, and managed connectors for Slack, GitHub, Linear, Salesforce, Snowflake and Microsoft. It also supported generic OAuth, API keys and MCP servers.
General availability brought fine-grained RBAC for managing connectors, audit logs of authorization and connector activity, and token and trigger observability.
Triggers delivered provider events to an app without a stored webhook secret, and Connect verified signatures server-side.
Adapters covered Better Auth, Auth.js, AI SDK, MCP clients, eve and Chat SDK.
For managed connectors such as Slack and GitHub, Vercel handled app registration with the provider.

What it meant for AI-generated apps

Integrations in AI-generated apps no longer needed hand-managed API secrets, a common source of leaks, because code requested short-lived, scoped tokens at runtime. For teams shipping generated apps, the fine-grained RBAC, audit logs and token and trigger observability that came with general availability added controls and records for connector management and activity.

Connect in v0

The Vercel changelog entry from August 24, 2026 on connecting v0 apps to Slack, Google and 100+ other services said apps and agents in v0 could connect to more than 100 services, including Slack, Google, Notion, GitHub and Salesforce. Users asked v0 to connect a service, set each connector up once per team and reused it across apps.
