Vercel Connect adds managed Stripe API keys

Vercel Connect now offers a Managed API Key connection method that creates a separate restricted Stripe API key for each agent or task, limited to permissions the user selects in their Stripe account. Vercel creates and stores the key, so no secret key is pasted, and users can rotate it from the connector's settings without redeploying while the old key stays valid for up to 24 hours during the switch. The change addresses the common practice of running apps and agents on Stripe's default secret key, which has full account access; a daily revenue report agent can now be limited to read-only charges access and an onboarding agent to write access on customers, with the existing MCP and bring-your-own API key methods unchanged.

With per-agent keys, each agent gets only the access its job needs. For example, a daily revenue report agent can be limited to read-only access to charges, and an onboarding agent can be limited to write access to customers. Vercel creates and stores the key, so there is no secret key to paste. You can rotate it from the connector's settings without redeploying, and the old key stays valid for up to 24 hours while you switch. Create a Stripe connector from the connectors directory, choose Managed API Key, pick its permissions, and attach it to your project.
