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)

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 VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Convex data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 4 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

—
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
—
Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
—
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
—
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

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.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
