Introducing Vercel Connect

What this post added

This post introduces Vercel Connect, a new system for agent authentication and authorization. It details the architecture of runtime credential exchange, replacing static tokens with short-lived, scoped credentials. Key technical aspects include OIDC for app identity, scoped token requests with provider-specific details (scopes, resource restrictions), per-user token scoping, environment-based access containment, and token revocation mechanisms. It also describes how Vercel Connect handles event-driven agents via verified webhook forwarding and provides integration details with various SDKs and frameworks.
