Why use Vercel Connect with OpenAI?

  • Credentials on demand

    Request OpenAI credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.

  • Access for the right subject

    Keep app-scoped OpenAI access behind a reusable connector controlled by your team.

  • Centralized credential management

    Manage OpenAI credentials in one place and retrieve them through a consistent runtime API.

  • Vercel-native controls

    Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.

Add OpenAI to an existing Vercel application with the Connect SDK.
