Deploy any project to Vercel instantly. No authentication required.
How It Works
- Packages your project into a tarball (excludes
node_modulesand.git) - Auto-detects framework from
package.json - Uploads to deployment service
- Returns Preview URL (live site) and Claim URL (transfer to your Vercel account)
Usage
bash /mnt/skills/user/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh [path]
Arguments:
path- Directory to deploy, or a.tgzfile (defaults to current directory)
Examples:
# Deploy current directory
bash /mnt/skills/user/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh
# Deploy specific project
bash /mnt/skills/user/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh /path/to/project
# Deploy existing tarball
bash /mnt/skills/user/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh /path/to/project.tgz

Deploying...
✓ Deployment successful!
Preview URL: https://skill-deploy-abc123.vercel.app
Claim URL: https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=...
The script also outputs JSON to stdout for programmatic use:
{
"previewUrl": "https://skill-deploy-abc123.vercel.app",
"claimUrl": "https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=...",
"deploymentId": "dpl_...",
"projectId": "prj_..."
}
Framework Detection
The script auto-detects frameworks from package.json. Supported frameworks include:
- React: Next.js, Gatsby, Create React App, Remix, React Router
- Vue: Nuxt, Vitepress, Vuepress, Gridsome
- Svelte: SvelteKit, Svelte, Sapper
- Other Frontend: Astro, Solid Start, Angular, Ember, Preact, Docusaurus
- Backend: Express, Hono, Fastify, NestJS, Elysia, h3, Nitro
- Build Tools: Vite, Parcel
- And more: Blitz, Hydrogen, RedwoodJS, Storybook, Sanity, etc.
For static HTML projects (no package.json), framework is set to null.
Static HTML Projects
For projects without a package.json:
- If there's a single
.htmlfile not namedindex.html, it gets renamed automatically - This ensures the page is served at the root URL (
/)
Present Results to User
Always show both URLs:
✓ Deployment successful!
Preview URL: https://skill-deploy-abc123.vercel.app
Claim URL: https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=...
View your site at the Preview URL.
To transfer this deployment to your Vercel account, visit the Claim URL.
Troubleshooting
Network Egress Error
If deployment fails due to network restrictions (common on claude.ai), tell the user:
Deployment failed due to network restrictions. To fix this:
1. Go to https://claude.ai/settings/capabilities
2. Add *.vercel.com to the allowed domains
3. Try deploying again
