About Convex MCP Server
Connect your Convex deployment to any AI agent and manage your application's data and logic through natural conversation. This server allows you to interact with your real-time database and serverless functions without leaving your AI interface.
LlamaIndex agents combine Convex tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers. Connect 4 tools through Vinkius and query live data alongside vector stores and SQL databases in a single turn. ideal for hybrid search, data enrichment, and analytical workflows.
What you can do
- Data Fetching — Execute read-only queries to retrieve documents and state from your Convex tables.
- Transactional Updates — Run mutations to modify data with full ACID guarantees directly from the agent.
- Side Effects & APIs — Trigger Convex actions for external API calls, heavy computation, or non-transactional logic.
- Flexible Execution — Call functions using standard colon notation or URL-style identifiers for maximum compatibility.
The Convex MCP Server exposes 4 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LlamaIndex in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
All 4 Convex tools available for LlamaIndex
When LlamaIndex connects to Convex through Vinkius, your AI agent gets direct access to every tool listed below — spanning real-time-database, serverless-functions, typescript, and more. Every call runs in a secure, isolated environment with full audit visibility. Beyond a simple connection, you get real-time monitoring of agent activity, enterprise governance, and optimized token usage.

Why Use LlamaIndex with the Convex MCP Server
LlamaIndex provides unique advantages when paired with Convex through the Model Context Protocol.
Data-first architecture: LlamaIndex agents combine Convex tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers
Query pipeline framework lets you chain Convex tool calls with transformations, filters, and re-rankers in a typed pipeline
Multi-source reasoning: agents can query Convex, a vector store, and a SQL database in a single turn and synthesize results
Observability integrations show exactly what Convex tools were called, what data was returned, and how it influenced the final answer
Convex + LlamaIndex Use Cases
Practical scenarios where LlamaIndex combined with the Convex MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Hybrid search: combine Convex real-time data with embedded document indexes for answers that are both current and comprehensive
Data enrichment: query Convex to augment indexed data with live information before generating user-facing responses
Knowledge base agents: build agents that maintain and update knowledge bases by periodically querying Convex for fresh data
Analytical workflows: chain Convex queries with LlamaIndex's data connectors to build multi-source analytical reports
Example Prompts for Convex in LlamaIndex
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your LlamaIndex agent to start working with Convex immediately.
"Run the Convex query 'messages:list' with no arguments."
"Call the mutation 'users:create' with the argument { "name": "Alice" }."
"Execute the function 'tasks/get_all' using run_function."
