Convex MCP Setup

Use this when the task involves Convex MCP configuration, troubleshooting, or explaining how MCP fits local Convex workflows.

Upstream MCP baseline

The upstream plugin uses this launch command:

npx -y convex@latest mcp start

Environment

Provide these when deployment access is required:

CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=your-deployment-name
CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY=your-deploy-key

Local guidance

  • Treat upstream mcp.json as source material, not as a file to install directly into this repo.
  • Do not port Cursor plugin manifests or hooks as active repo behavior.
  • Use npx convex dev for normal development and reserve npx convex deploy for production.
  • Agent mode is mainly for cloud-hosted coding agents. Local agents usually do not need it.
