Connect CrewAI agents to Convex

Assign `run_query` to your research agents so they can access current database information. They gather facts before your analysts start their work. This gives your crew a shared source of truth. They stop guessing and start operating on real numbers.

Automate updates via CrewAI and Convex

Let your executor agents call `run_mutation` when they finish a task. They update the database state without needing manual intervention from you. You create a closed loop where the agents handle the work from start to finish. It is the fastest way to build autonomous operations.

Run complex procedures with CrewAI and Convex

Use `run_action` to trigger server-side logic that requires specialized permissions. Your agents delegate these tasks to the backend while they continue with other responsibilities. This keeps your agents focused on the high-level strategy. They manage the process while the server does the heavy lifting.

Setup guide

Set up Convex MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Convex tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Convex Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Convex data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Convex access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Convex transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Convex Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Convex data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Convex access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Convex transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)

Common questions about Convex MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL into your agent definition's MCP list. Once connected, your specialized agents automatically detect and use the tools defined in the server.

Yes, all members of your crew can use the same tools. You can restrict access to specific agents by filtering the tool list in your configuration.

Every request is scoped to your specific endpoint credentials. The server acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring your agents only touch the database records they need for their assigned roles.

It works across all crew architectures. Whether you use sequential or hierarchical patterns, your agents maintain full access to the backend tools.

The data stays within the execution context of your agent session. It is never stored or logged by the Vinkius infrastructure.
