How to Use the Convex MCP in Cline
Cline builds features faster by fetching your live Convex data automatically.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Convex MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Convex to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automated data fetching for Cline
Cline uses `run_query` to grab live state from your backend. It reads the results to build components that actually work with your data. No more manual API testing. The agent sees the response and writes the UI code to match your schema.
Cline manages backend mutations
Point Cline at a task and it triggers `run_mutation` to save your changes. It handles the write operations while you review the diff. This bridges the gap between your editor and your database. Cline handles the request structure for you.
Execute complex logic with Cline
Use `run_action` to trigger backend processes from within the agent's flow. Cline executes these as part of its multi-step task completion. You tell it what to do and it runs the necessary backend functions. It keeps the dev cycle moving without extra steps.
