Convex MCP

Convex peers ship with built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling AI agents and MCP-compatible tools to interact directly with the Convex network. Any peer with MCP enabled becomes a gateway for querying state, executing transactions, and managing digital assets — no custom integrations or centralised intermediaries required.

Quick start​

Connect any MCP client to a Convex peer:

https://peer.convex.live/mcp

That's it. The peer exposes 16 built-in tools for querying, transacting, signing, and encoding. Your AI agent or development tool can discover them automatically through MCP's standard tools/list method.

Key capabilities​

  • Direct network access — sub-millisecond state queries, native Convex Lisp execution, no indexers or RPC layers
  • Flexible transaction signing — direct signing, prepare/sign/submit with external approval, or combined sign-and-submit
  • Universal asset model — fungible tokens, NFTs, and arbitrary digital assets through a unified CAD019 interface
  • Built-in cryptography — Ed25519 key generation, signing, verification, and hashing
  • Zero configuration — MCP support is enabled by default on every Convex peer

Running your own peer​

For production use, run your own Convex peer for better performance, security, and privacy. MCP is enabled by default — the endpoint is available at /mcp with no additional configuration.

See the Peer Operations guide for setup instructions.
