+ # vercel.json Reference for FrontMCP
7
+
8
+ The Vercel CLI build adapter (`frontmcp build --target vercel`) emits a project that uses Vercel's [Build Output API v3](https://vercel.com/docs/build-output-api/v3). The adapter writes `.vercel/output/functions/index.func/handler.cjs` plus a `.vercel/output/config.json` with the catch-all route.
9
+
10
+ The adapter ALSO writes a minimal `vercel.json` for you, with just `version`, `buildCommand`, and `installCommand`. You should **not** hand-author a `rewrites: [...] -> /api/frontmcp` block — there is no `api/` directory in the build output, and the Build Output API handles routing via `.vercel/output/config.json`.
11
+
12
+ ## Generated vercel.json
13
+
14
+ After `frontmcp build --target vercel`, your `vercel.json` looks like:
15
+
16
+ ```json
6
17
  {
7
- "$schema": "https://openapi.vercel.sh/vercel.json",
8
- "framework": null,
9
- "buildCommand": "frontmcp build --target vercel",
10
- "outputDirectory": "dist",
11
- "rewrites": [
12
- {
13
- "source": "/(.*)",
14
- "destination": "/api/frontmcp"
15
- }
16
- ],
17
- "functions": {
18
- "api/frontmcp.js": {
19
- "memory": 512,
20
- "maxDuration": 30
21
- }
22
- },
23
- "regions": ["iad1"],
24
- "headers": [
25
- {
26
- "source": "/health",
27
- "headers": [
28
- {
29
- "key": "Cache-Control",
30
- "value": "no-store"
18
+ "version": 2,
19
+ "buildCommand": "yarn build",
20
+ "installCommand": "yarn install"
31
21
  }
32
- ]
33
- },
34
- {
35
- "source": "/mcp",
36
- "headers": [
37
- {
38
- "key": "Cache-Control",
39
- "value": "no-store"
40
- },
22
+ ```
23
+
24
+ The `buildCommand` and `installCommand` are detected from your lockfile (`bun.lockb` -> bun, `pnpm-lock.yaml` -> pnpm, `yarn.lock` -> yarn, `package-lock.json` -> npm).
25
+
26
+ ## Customizing
27
+
28
+ You can hand-edit `vercel.json` AFTER the build to add fields Vercel supports — for example, regions or environment-level headers:
29
+
30
+ ```json
41
31
  {
42
- "key": "X-Content-Type-Options",
43
- "value": "nosniff"
32
+ "version": 2,
33
+ "buildCommand": "yarn build",
34
+ "installCommand": "yarn install",
35
+ "regions": ["iad1"]
44
36
  }
45
- ]
46
- },
47
- {
48
- "source": "/(.\*)",
49
- "headers": [
50
- {
51
- "key": "X-Frame-Options",
52
- "value": "DENY"
53
- },
54
- {
55
- "key": "X-Content-Type-Options",
56
- "value": "nosniff"
57
- },
37
+ ```
38
+
39
+ To add response headers, prefer setting them inside your FrontMCP server (where they apply both locally and in production) rather than in `vercel.json`.
40
+
41
+ ## What NOT to Do
42
+
43
+ - Do **not** add a `rewrites` block routing to `/api/frontmcp` — there is no `api/` directory in the Vercel build output.
44
+ - Do **not** add a `functions: { "api/frontmcp.ts": ... }` map — the function lives at `.vercel/output/functions/index.func/handler.cjs`, configured by `.vc-config.json` (runtime, handler) generated by the adapter.
45
+ - Do **not** set `framework` to a value the FrontMCP build doesn't match. Leaving it unset is safest.
46
+
47
+ ## Function Runtime Config
48
+
49
+ The adapter writes `.vercel/output/functions/index.func/.vc-config.json` automatically:
50
+
51
+ ```json
58
52
  {
59
- "key": "Referrer-Policy",
60
- "value": "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
61
- }
62
- ]
63
- }
64
- ]
53
+ "runtime": "nodejs24.x",
54
+ "handler": "handler.cjs",
55
+ "launcherType": "Nodejs"
65
56
  }
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ If you need to change memory or maxDuration, configure them via the Vercel dashboard (Project Settings -> Functions) or `vercel.json`'s top-level Vercel-specific configuration. Per-function blocks keyed by `api/frontmcp.ts` will not work because that file does not exist.

+ The FrontMCP CLI's Vercel adapter uses Vercel's [Build Output API v3](https://vercel.com/docs/build-output-api/v3): it produces `.vercel/output/functions/index.func/handler.cjs` plus `.vercel/output/config.json`. You do **not** author `api/frontmcp.ts` files, and you do **not** hand-write `rewrites` to `/api/frontmcp` — the build emits the full Build Output structure for you.

223
- | Bundle too large | Unnecessary dependencies included | Review dependencies and remove unused packages to reduce bundle size |
224
- | Cold starts too slow | Low function memory or large bundle | Increase memory to 1024 MB; audit dependencies; consider Vercel Fluid Compute |

211
+ | KV connection errors | KV store not linked or env vars missing | Re-link the KV store in the Vercel dashboard; verify `KV_REST_API_URL` and `KV_REST_API_TOKEN` |
212
+ | 404 on every route | Build did not produce `.vercel/output/` | Ensure `frontmcp build --target vercel` ran before `vercel` deploys |
213
+ | Bundle too large | Unnecessary dependencies included | Review dependencies and remove unused packages to reduce bundle size |
214

+ ## Prerequisites
42
+
43
+ - A scaffolded FrontMCP project (see `frontmcp-setup` if you don't have one).
44
+ - Familiarity with TypeScript decorators and Zod schemas — every component is decorator-driven and validates I/O via Zod.
45
+ - Decide whether you're adding to an existing `@App` or composing a new one (multi-app projects: see `multi-app-composition`).
46
+
47
+ ## Steps
48
+
49
+ This is a router skill. The "steps" here are how to choose the right child skill, not how to implement a component.
50
+
51
+ 1. **Identify the component type** using the Scenario Routing Table below.
52
+ 2. **Open the matching skill** (e.g. `create-tool`, `create-resource`) and follow its Steps section.
53
+ 3. **Compose**, if needed: most non-trivial features need two or more components (e.g. tool + provider, resource + adapter). Read each child skill independently before wiring them together.
54
+ 4. **Test before integration** (`frontmcp-testing`) — every component type has a unit-test recipe.

285
+ ## Accessing This Skill
286
+
287
+ Skills are distributed as plain SKILL.md files plus a sibling `references/`
288
+ and `examples/` tree, so consumers can pick whichever access mode fits:
289
+
290
+ | Mode | How it works |
291
+ | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
292
+ | **Filesystem** | Read `libs/skills/catalog/frontmcp-development/` directly from a clone of the catalog repo, or from a published `@frontmcp/skills` install. SKILL.md is the entry point. |
293
+ | **`frontmcp` CLI** | `frontmcp skills list`, `frontmcp skills read frontmcp-development`, `frontmcp skills read frontmcp-development:references/<file>.md`, `frontmcp skills install frontmcp-development` — no server required. |
294
+ | **MCP `skill://`** | When a developer mounts this skill into their own FrontMCP server (`@FrontMcp({ skills: [...] })`), the SDK exposes it via SEP-2640 resources: `skill://frontmcp-development/SKILL.md`, `skill://frontmcp-development/references/{file}.md`, etc. The server’s `skill://index.json` returns the SEP-2640 discovery document for everything mounted on it. |
295
+
296
+ The catalog itself is **not** an MCP server. The `skill://` URIs only resolve
297
+ when a server has been configured to host this skill.
