Why use Vercel Connect with Photon?

  • Credentials on demand

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

  • Access for the right subject

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

  • Centralized credential management

    Manage Photon 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.

Use Photon with your stack

Follow a complete setup for the Connect SDK or a supported agent framework.

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

  1. Install the Connect SDK

    npm install @vercel/connect

  2. Create the Photon connector

    Run these commands from the project that will use the connection.

    vercel link
    vercel connect create photon --name acme-photon
    vercel env pull

  3. Request Photon credentials

    app/api/route.ts
    import { getToken } from '@vercel/connect';
    

    const token = await getToken('photon/acme-photon');
