VERCEL + ANIMA

Give agents on Vercel an identity

Run agents on Vercel with a full identity layer — email, voice, SMS, and secrets they can use but never see. Provision from the SDK in a route handler or background function.

Connect

Connect Vercel in one step

Pick a path — each gives Vercel its own identity. The self-onboard prompt is the fastest; the MCP server and SDK wire it into your stack.

Provision an identity in code, then send from it.

import { Anima } from "@anima-labs/sdk";

const anima = new Anima(); // reads ANIMA_API_KEY

const agent = await anima.agents.create({
  orgId: process.env.ANIMA_ORG_ID,
  name: "My Agent",
  slug: "my-agent",
  provisionPhone: true,
});

console.log(agent.emailIdentities[0].email);
// my-agent@agents.useanima.sh

Why give it its own identity

Its own identity

Not your inbox or your number — your Vercel agent gets its own. Every email, call, and login is attributable to the agent, not to you.

Compliant by default

TCPA, RND, and DNC checks run server-side before any call or text leaves the agent. You don't wire up compliance — it's on by default.

Use, never see

The agent authenticates with vaulted credentials it can use but never reads in plaintext, and clears its own 2FA challenges from SMS.

Working code

Prompt it, or drop in the SDK

Once connected, Vercel acts as itself. Prompt it in plain language:

“On deploy, provision an identity and store the key as an env secret.”
“Handle inbound email webhooks and reply from the agent's inbox.”
“Place a call when an order needs confirmation.”

Provision an identity in code, then send from it.

import { Anima } from "@anima-labs/sdk";

const anima = new Anima(); // reads ANIMA_API_KEY

const agent = await anima.agents.create({
  orgId: process.env.ANIMA_ORG_ID,
  name: "My Agent",
  slug: "my-agent",
  provisionPhone: true,
});

console.log(agent.emailIdentities[0].email);
// my-agent@agents.useanima.sh

Capabilities

What your Vercel agent gets

Email identity

A dedicated mailbox with DKIM, SPF, and DMARC — send and receive as itself.

Phone & SMS

A real US number to text from and to clear 2FA challenges.

Voice

Place and answer real-time calls on one high-quality pipeline.

Credential vault

Compliance rails

TCPA, RND, and DNC gates run server-side on every call and text.

Unified audit

Every action carries a correlation ID back to the human who authorized it.

FAQ

Anima + Vercel

How do I connect Anima to Vercel?: Paste the self-onboard prompt and your agent reads useanima.sh/skill.md, signs itself up, and unlocks a full identity once you confirm the email — or point Vercel at the hosted MCP server. No SMTP or provider setup.
Do I need to run my own email or phone infrastructure?: No. Anima provisions the inbox, handles deliverability (DKIM, SPF, DMARC), and supplies the phone number and voice pipeline. You just need an API key.
Can the agent receive, not just send?: Yes. Every identity can send and receive email and SMS, place and answer calls, and get webhooks in real time.
Is there an MCP option?: Yes — point Vercel at https://mcp.useanima.sh/mcp with a Bearer key. The MCP server, CLI, and SDK all expose the same operations, so pick whichever fits your setup.
How are credentials kept safe?: Secrets live in an encrypted vault. The agent uses them to log in but never reads them in plaintext — reveal ≠ use — and every use is logged with a correlation ID.
Is there a free tier?: Yes. Start free with email included and no credit card. Phone, voice, and vault unlock on a paid plan.
