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.
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 4 tools from Convex through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries Convex, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.
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 OpenAI Agents SDK 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 OpenAI Agents SDK
When OpenAI Agents SDK 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.
Run action on Convex

Why Use OpenAI Agents SDK with the Convex MCP Server
OpenAI Agents SDK provides unique advantages when paired with Convex through the Model Context Protocol.
Native MCP integration via `MCPServerSse`, pass the URL and the SDK auto-discovers all tools with full type safety
Built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns let you build production-grade agents without reinventing safety infrastructure
Lightweight and composable: chain multiple agents and MCP servers in a single pipeline with minimal boilerplate
First-party OpenAI support ensures optimal compatibility with GPT models for tool calling and structured output
Convex + OpenAI Agents SDK Use Cases
Practical scenarios where OpenAI Agents SDK combined with the Convex MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated workflows: build agents that query Convex, process the data, and trigger follow-up actions autonomously
Multi-agent orchestration: create specialist agents. one queries Convex, another analyzes results, a third generates reports
Data enrichment pipelines: stream data through Convex tools and transform it with OpenAI models in a single async loop
Customer support bots: agents query Convex to resolve tickets, look up records, and update statuses without human intervention
Example Prompts for Convex in OpenAI Agents SDK
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your OpenAI Agents SDK 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."
