Details

  • Vercel Connect introduces a Managed API Key connection method that creates separate, restricted Stripe API keys for individual agents or tasks.
  • Keys are limited to specific permissions (e.g., read-only charges for reporting agents, write access to customers for onboarding agents), replacing the default secret key which grants full account access.
  • Vercel handles key creation and storage, removing the need to manually paste secrets; keys can be rotated from connector settings with the old key remaining valid for up to 24 hours during the switch.
  • Existing MCP and bring-your-own API key methods remain unchanged, and setup is available via the connectors directory or CLI.
