Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
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 Cline?
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Convex tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 4 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.

- —
Runs inside VS Code, so you get MCP tool access alongside your existing extensions, terminal, and version control in a single window
- —
Cline can create, edit, and delete files based on MCP tool responses, enabling end-to-end automation from data retrieval to code generation
- —
Transparent execution: every tool call and file change is shown in Cline's activity log for full visibility and approval before committing
Convex in Cline
Convex and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Convex to Cline 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 Cline
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 Cline 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 Cline
Every tool call from Cline 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 Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
