Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Rapid Debugging

Check the current state of a specific user's data immediately after a failed event.

02

Data Migrations

Run mutations to update large sets of records via your agent.

03

Metric Monitoring

Ask your agent to pull specific counts or lists from your tables to verify app health.

04

Administrative Tasks

Trigger specific backend actions or update user permissions through chat.

Automate a task

Put Convex to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Convex works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Convex to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 4 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Convex, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Convex. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Convex owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical users who need to bridge the gap between their code and their live data.

  • 01

    Full-stack Developers

    Use it to debug data or run migrations without switching contexts.

  • 02

    Product Managers

    Query live application metrics and user data using natural language.

  • 03

    Support Teams

    Inspect or update user records through a secure chat interface.

FAQ

Questions Convex owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Convex deployment?

    You just need to provide your Convex Deployment URL and an optional Access Key when you subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Can I perform write operations?

    Yes, you can use the run_mutation capability to perform transactional updates to your data.

  • 04

    Does this support serverless functions?

    Yes, you can trigger Convex actions and queries to interact with your serverless logic.

  • 05

    Is my data secure?

    The MCP uses your provided credentials to interact with your deployment through a secure connection.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    Can I call external APIs using this server?

    Yes, by using the run_action capability. Actions in Convex are designed for side effects like calling third-party APIs or performing long-running tasks.

  • 08

    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.
