`vercel connect create kernel` pre-fills the MCP URL, auth type, and branding, and yields a `kernel/<name>` UID. Update the setup commands and mount snippets, and note that pre-registry connectors keep working.

Vercel's CLI 58.8.0 adds --connection-method. Kernel's registry entry offers both mcp and api-key, and only mcp brokers the per-user OAuth the extension's Connect path expects.

Summary
Kernel is now a preset in Vercel's connector registry, so the connector is created by name instead of by MCP server URL.
What changed
In
integrations/vercel/eve-extension.mdx:vercel connect create kernel --name kernel-mcp --connection-method mcp/vercel connect attach kernel/kernel-mcp, with a sentence on what the registry entry fills in and why the connection method is explicit.kernel/kernel-mcp(setup, project layout, connection override).>= 58.8.0prerequisite — that's where--connection-methodlanded.<Note>that connectors created before the registry entry keep their old UID and keep working.Kernel's registry entry exposes two connection methods,
mcpandapi-key, with no default yet, so omitting the flag drops readers into an interactive prompt. Onlymcpbrokers the per-user OAuth the Connect path is documented around.Matches the corresponding PRs on

Vercelcheck fails on this PR, but it fails on every PR in this repo including the last four merged ones — unrelated to these edits. Mintlify deploy and broken-links pass.Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only changes to integration setup instructions; no runtime or security-sensitive code paths.
Overview
Updates the Eve extension integration guide so Vercel Connect setup follows Kernel’s registry preset instead of creating a connector from the MCP server URL.
Connector creation now uses
vercel connect create kernel --name kernel-mcp --connection-method mcpandvercel connect attach kernel/kernel-mcp, with mount/override examples usingconnect: "kernel/kernel-mcp". The doc adds a Vercel CLI ≥ 58.8.0 prerequisite for--connection-method, dashboard steps that pick MCP in Connectors → Browse all, and a Note that pre-registry connectors (e.g.mcp.onkernel.com/eve-extension) still work unchanged.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 8f4a7af.
