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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Convex tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 4 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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 Windsurf in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Convex MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Convex through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 4 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Convex + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Convex MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Convex and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Convex tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Convex and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Convex data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Example Prompts for Convex in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf 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."
