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

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Convex Deployment URL (and optional Access Key)
  3. 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)

run_action

Call a Convex action function

run_function

g., "messages/list" instead of "messages:list"). Call a Convex function by its URL identifier

run_mutation

Call a Convex mutation function

run_query

Use this for fetching data. Call a Convex query function

Why Claude Code?

Claude Code registers Convex as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 4 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Convex data drives decisions without human intervention.

  • Single-command setup: claude mcp add registers the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart

  • Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks

  • Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Convex tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts

  • Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.

05

Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?

Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.

06

How do I list all connected MCP servers?

Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.

07

Command not found: claude

Ensure Claude Code is installed globally: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
