Convex Perplexity MCP server

[spring cloud]

I want to use convex as an MCP server/connect for Perplexity but it seems that the convex mcp server is a local only thing. I need a MCP server URL.

Hi @spring cloud. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

You're correct in your observation. The Convex MCP server currently uses the stdio transport protocol on a locally running server, which means it runs as a local process on your machine rather than exposing a remote URL endpoint. [Convex MCP Server]

The command used to start it is:

npx -y convex@latest mcp start

This is a local stdio-based server, not an HTTP/SSE server with a public URL. [Convex MCP]

The knowledge sources do not contain any information about a remote/hosted Convex MCP server URL that would be compatible with clients like Perplexity that require a remote MCP endpoint. The documented integrations are all for local tools like Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), and Claude Code — all of which support stdio-based MCP servers.

If you need a remote MCP URL for Perplexity, this is not currently a supported configuration based on the available documentation. I'd recommend reaching out to the Convex team directly via their community Discord to ask about remote MCP server support or any upcoming plans for it.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
