Vercel MCP now supports Client ID Metadata Documents

Any MCP client can now ask to connect to . You still log in and approve each connection, but the client no longer has to be reviewed by Vercel first. Previously, Vercel reviewed and allowlisted each client and its redirect URIs by hand, and anything not on the list was rejected.Vercel MCP To connect, a client publishes a Client ID Metadata Document (CIMD), a JSON file on its own domain that describes it, and uses that file's HTTPS URL as its OAuth . This follows the MCP authorization spec, which now recommends CIMD over Dynamic Client Registration.client_id Because Vercel hasn't reviewed thes...
