Adapter Directory Now Live
Vercel has launched an adapter directory for the Chat SDK, providing a centralized registry of platform and state adapters from official, vendor, and community sources. Developers can now easily discover and integrate adapters to connect their Chat applications with external platforms.
Three Categories of Adapters
The directory organizes adapters into three tiers:
- Official adapters maintained by the Chat SDK core team, published under the
@chat-adapter/*namespace - Vendor-official adapters built and maintained by platform companies themselves (e.g., Resend, Beeper, Matrix)
- Community adapters created by third-party developers following the same contribution model as AI SDK community providers
Building Unified Chat Workflows
The adapter system enables developers to write single codebases that work across multiple communication channels. For example, Resend's email adapter allows the same bot logic, handlers, and card primitives to power both email and Slack workflows—developers can use identical patterns for handling mentions, posting messages, and managing threads.
Get Started
Developers can browse the adapter directory to find existing integrations or follow the contributing guide to build and publish their own adapters. This ecosystem approach mirrors Vercel's successful AI SDK community provider model.
