Add the NORG edge router to your Vercel middleware

In NORG, open Publishing › CDN & Edge, choose Vercel and click Create Vercel install. You get a Site ID and a Site Key. The key is shown once, so copy it straight away. Then add the package to your project:

npm install @norg-ai/edge-router-vercel
# or: pnpm add @norg-ai/edge-router-vercel / yarn add @norg-ai/edge-router-vercel

In Vercel, open Project › Settings › Environment Variables and add both values for Production (and Preview if you want it there too). Mark NORG_SITE_KEY as Sensitive.

NORG_SITE_ID=your-site-id-from-norg
NORG_SITE_KEY=nek_live_your_site_key   # mark this one Sensitive in Vercel

For Next.js, put this in middleware.ts (Next.js 13–15) or proxy.ts (Next.js 16). The matcher skips static assets but still lets llms.txt, agents.md and /.well-known/mcp.json through, which NORG answers.

// middleware.ts (Next.js 13–15) or proxy.ts (Next.js 16), at the project root
import { withNorgEdge } from '@norg-ai/edge-router-vercel/next'

export default withNorgEdge()

export const config = {
  matcher: [
    '/((?!_next|[^?]*\\.(?:html?|css|js(?!on)|jpe?g|webp|png|gif|svg|ttf|woff2?|ico|csv|docx?|xlsx?|zip|webmanifest)).*)',
    '/(api|trpc)(.*)',
  ],
}

// Already have a middleware? Wrap it: NORG runs first, then yours, unchanged.
import { clerkMiddleware } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'
import { withNorgEdge } from '@norg-ai/edge-router-vercel/next'

export default withNorgEdge(clerkMiddleware())

For any other framework on Vercel, use Vercel Routing Middleware:

// middleware.ts at the project root — Astro, SvelteKit, static, any Vercel project
import { createNorgEdge } from '@norg-ai/edge-router-vercel'

export default createNorgEdge()

Redeploy: Vercel applies new environment variables on the next deployment.

With your Site Key, the health probe answers with the middleware's status. It also tells NORG the install is running, so it shows as active within seconds.

curl -s -H "x-norg-edge-check: <your-site-key>" https://your-site.example/ | head -c 200
# {"site_id":"…","version":"0.1.0","env":"production","platform":"vercel","entitled":true,…}

A normal visit gets your site with no NORG header:

curl -sI https://your-site.example/some-page/ | grep -i x-norg-edge
# no output: people get your site unchanged
