What is the 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.
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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Convex Deployment URL (and optional Access Key)
- Start querying and mutating your data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Full-stack Developers — Debug data, run migrations, or check state directly from your IDE or chat.
- Product Managers — Query live application metrics and user data using natural language without writing code.
- Support Teams — Inspect and update user records or trigger administrative actions through a secure AI interface.
Built-in capabilities (4)
Call a Convex action function
g., "messages/list" instead of "messages:list"). Call a Convex function by its URL identifier
Call a Convex mutation function
Use this for fetching data. Call a Convex query function
Why Vercel AI SDK?
The Vercel AI SDK gives every Convex tool full TypeScript type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking. Connect 4 tools through Vinkius and stream results progressively to React, Svelte, or Vue components. works on Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.
- —
TypeScript-first: every MCP tool gets full type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking out of the box
- —
Framework-agnostic core works with Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, or any Node.js runtime. same Convex integration everywhere
- —
Built-in streaming UI primitives let you display Convex tool results progressively in React, Svelte, or Vue components
- —
Edge-compatible: the AI SDK runs on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and other edge runtimes for minimal latency
Convex in Vercel AI SDK
Convex and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Convex to Vercel AI SDK through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Convex in Vercel AI SDK
The Convex MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 4 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Vercel AI SDK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.
* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Convex for Vercel AI SDK
Every tool call from Vercel AI SDK to the Convex MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between run_query and run_mutation?
Use run_query for read-only operations that fetch data. Use run_mutation when you need to write, update, or delete data transactionally in your database.
Can I call external APIs using this server?
Yes, by using the run_action tool. Actions in Convex are designed for side effects like calling third-party APIs or performing long-running tasks.
How do I reference functions in subdirectories?
You can use run_query with colon notation (e.g., 'folder/file:function') or use run_function which accepts URL-style identifiers with slashes.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
createMCPClient is not a function
Install: npm install @ai-sdk/mcp
