Vercel Deployment Guide

Deployment Protection and Agent Access

Vercel deployments may have Deployment Protection enabled, which requires authentication to access preview deployments. This can block automated testing and agent access to preview URLs.

Identifying Protected Deployments

If you encounter a login page or authentication requirement when accessing a Vercel preview URL, the deployment has protection enabled. Signs include:

Redirect to vercel.com/login or SSO login page
401/403 errors when accessing the deployment
Preview URLs that require Vercel team membership

Enabling Agent Access with Protection Bypass

To allow agents and automated systems to access protected deployments, users need to set up Protection Bypass for Automation:

1. Navigate to Project Settings

Go to the Vercel Dashboard
Select the project
Click on Settings → Deployment Protection

2. Generate a Protection Bypass Secret

Under "Protection Bypass for Automation", click Generate Secret
Copy the generated secret securely

3. Using the Bypass Secret

The secret can be used in two ways:

As a Header:

   curl -H "x-vercel-protection-bypass: <secret>" https://your-preview-url.vercel.app

As a Query Parameter:

   https://your-preview-url.vercel.app?x-vercel-protection-bypass=<secret>

4. For Browser-Based Testing

Append ?x-vercel-protection-bypass=<secret> to the preview URL
The secret will be stored in a cookie for subsequent requests

Alternative: Disable Protection for Previews

If protection bypass is not suitable, users can disable protection for preview deployments:

1. Go to Settings → Deployment Protection 2. Set "Vercel Authentication" to Only Production Deployments or Disabled

<IMPORTANT> If you cannot access a Vercel preview deployment due to authentication requirements, inform the user that they need to either: 1. Set up a Protection Bypass secret and provide it to you, OR 2. Disable Deployment Protection for preview deployments in their Vercel project settings

Do NOT repeatedly attempt to access protected URLs without the bypass secret. </IMPORTANT>

Environment Variables

Set environment variables in Vercel Dashboard under Settings → Environment Variables, or use the Vercel CLI:

vercel env add MY_SECRET

Access in your application:

const secret = process.env.MY_SECRET;
