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.

FAQ

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 Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
