Vercel CLI expands commands for DNS, domains, and projects

The Vercel CLI now provides dedicated commands for managing DNS records, domains, and projects. This brings more of the functionality available through the Vercel dashboard and API to the terminal, where it can be used interactively, in scripts, or by agents.

Copy link to headingInspect and update DNS records

Retrieve the complete configuration for a DNS record or update it in place using its record ID.

vercel dns inspect rec_123

vercel dns update rec_123 \
  --value 76.76.21.21 \
  --ttl 300

vercel dns update supports changes to the record name, type, value, TTL, MX priority, and comment. SRV records can also be updated using their priority, weight, port, and target fields.

Copy link to headingRenew domains bought on Vercel

Renew a domain on demand or control whether it renews automatically.

vercel domains renew example.com
vercel domains auto-renew example.com on
vercel domains auto-renew example.com off

The renewal command displays the current renewal price and asks for confirmation before completing the purchase.

Copy link to headingControl project state and observability

Pause or resume a project and configure its observability features directly from the CLI. Web Analytics and Speed Insights could already be enabled from the CLI; they can now be disabled as well.

vercel project pause
vercel project resume

vercel project observability enable
vercel project observability disable

vercel project web-analytics disable

vercel project speed-insights disable

Copy link to headingAdd and remove project members

Add a project member with a specific role or remove an existing member.

vercel project members add my-project user@example.com \
  --role developer

vercel project members remove my-project user@example.com

All of the new commands support structured JSON output for scripts and agents. Billable or destructive actions require explicit confirmation.

Update to version 59.6.2 (or later) of the Vercel CLI to use the new commands:

npm i -g vercel@latest
