# NPM_RC token in v0?

What does it mean when chat asks me to input environment variables for nmp_rc and npm_token

When i don't I get this in console but everything seems to work fine.

NPM_RC cannot be accessed on the client.

NPM_TOKEN cannot be accessed on the client.

Is this something I should need to configure at all in this setup, or is the system a bit confused?

Hey, Simon!

Great question. Let me try and get an answer from the team. However, I've not seen this issue before - do you happen to have a chat example where you've seen this?

There shouldn't be anything you need to configure.

yes I can DM anyone in your dev team a private link to the chat if they want to see. Its in the list of a few ENVs the system sometimes asks for. I think they are like: Vercel_url, next_public_url and a now this one, which when I research them are all supposed to be set by vercel in the system. It works just ignoring them, but it is confusing in the dev process.

this is how it looks like in chat

Those should only appear there if they're detected in the codebase, is it possible any of your scripts has referenced them?


Simon (@simonstrumse) · 2025-06-28

the problem of asking a vibecoder.... v0 wrote all and any kind of reference in there. I tried to instruct it to look for them and remove the references if they are there, but it seems very persistent.
