How do I manage environment variables with Vercel?
Add the Vercel MCP connector once, then paste this prompt into Claude or ChatGPT: "Set DATABASE_URL to the production value for the my-app project, production environment only". Your AI runs it in Vercel.
Do I need to code?
No. You install the connector once (a short config or one click), then ask in plain words. The prompt on this page works as-is.
Which AI assistants work?
Claude (Desktop, Code), Cursor, ChatGPT and other MCP clients. The same prompt works across them.
