Vercel CLI now supports verifying DNS configuration
By Steven Van ·
The new vercel domains verify command checks DNS records, nameservers and project attachment, and can output JSON for CI scripts.
The Vercel CLI can now check a domain's DNS setup directly. The new vercel domains verify command inspects ownership, DNS records, nameservers, DNSSEC, conflicting records, and project attachment, then reports whether a domain is correctly configured, attached to the right project, and verified. If something's wrong, it prints the exact records or nameservers to change.
- Add --format json to get the full diagnosis (status, reason, recommended records, conflicts, and suggested next commands) for use in scripts.
- The command exits non-zero when a domain is misconfigured or unverified, so it can be used as a check in CI.
- Use --project to verify against a specific Vercel project's expected records, or --strict to check the exact domain only, without falling back to the parent zone's configuration.
The feature requires Vercel CLI version 54.15.1 or later.
