npx @buildinternet/releases get convexRecently shipped a plugin installer for AI coding agents, self-signed JWTs from deployments, and staged schema validation that lets large-table deploys land without blocking.
npx convex plugins install sets up the Convex plugin for Claude Code and Codex on macOS and Linux. Re-running it upgrades an existing install.
Deployments can sign their own JWTs. Mutations call ctx.auth.signJwt with an internally managed key pair, and the tokens verify against the deployment's public JWKS.
Large-table schema changes stop blocking deploys.
.staged() on defineTable marks table types to validate asynchronously in the background, so the deploy succeeds immediately.npx convex deploy asks for confirmation before creating or changing an index on a large table; --skip-large-indexes-check bypasses the prompt.Two upgrades need action before you update.
v.function({ fnType, args, returns }) validator infers FunctionHandle_future, so existing FunctionHandle annotations may need updating.Other changes landed alongside.
ctx.storage.store() and ctx.storage.get() are callable from mutations.npx convex env list prints variable names only by default; --include-values restores values.Drops support for Node.js 20, requiring Node.js 22+, and adds a v.function validator that infers FunctionHandle_future, which may require updating existing FunctionHandle usages. Also ships npx convex plugins install to install the Convex plugin for Claude Code and Codex on macOS and Linux, with re-runs upgrading it.
Convex projects now support tags so users can filter and group projects by tag. Custom roles can target tags for fine-grained permission targeting.
Mutations can now sign their own JWTs via ctx.auth.signJwt with an internally managed key-pair, verifiable through the JWKS at /.well-known/jwks.json, and ctx.storage.store() and ctx.storage.get() are available in mutations. Verbose dev and deploy output now redacts environment variable values, and env list commands show only names by default unless --include-values is passed.
HTTP actions are currently limited to returning 20 MiB, which is relatively small for large data and files, and the limit is being raised toward 100 MB.
A feature request to increase the HTTP response size limit is in progress.
npx convex deploy now asks for confirmation before creating or changing an index on a large table, with staged indexes backfilling in the background and a --skip-large-indexes-check flag to bypass it. The envList MCP tool returns only env var names by default unless includeValues: true is passed, and npx convex env list gained --include-values and --names-only flags.
Staged table types let deployments with large, heavily trafficked tables succeed automatically while their table types validate asynchronously in the background.
The Logs page search term can now be pre-filled via a query parameter, making searches shareable as links.
Convex deployments can now be provisioned in Canada.
EU plans currently have no included usage; the change will bring them in line with US plans, which include usage.
Convex deployments can now be provisioned in a Canada data region.
Convex deployments can now run in an Australia data region.
Convex teams can now automatically add and remove team members with a pre-assigned role using SCIM.
The dashboard integrations page now shows a progress indicator during the Fivetran initial sync and when changing table selection.
Convex now provides first-party AI inference primitives so teams can run prompts, structured generation, and model workflows inside Convex without assembling separate infrastructure.
The plugin adds @convex-dev/no-process-env, now on by default as an error, flagging process.env in Convex code with an autofix to the typed env object from _generated/server, plus an on-by-default @convex-dev/no-duplicate-indexes rule for indexes with duplicate field order. A @convex-dev/require-access-control rule ships off by default, requiring every public Convex function to call an access control helper.
Every validator now exposes .optional(), so v.string().optional() equals v.optional(v.string()), but this changes TypeScript compatibility between validators from different Convex versions. Also added FunctionReference_future for checking callback arguments, deprecated _args and _returnType on FunctionReference, and fixed a deploy permission error when deleting indexes with a deploy key limited to deployment:deploy.
Local deployments now upgrade to a new backend version in place, bypassing snapshot export and import, so upgrades no longer depend on data size or prompt about transferring it. The Convex MCP server now supports the stateless MCP protocol (2026-07-28 MCP specification), and a new getServiceToken function generates service tokens for first-party Convex services.
Adds a new @convex-dev/no-schema-import-cycle rule, enabled by default as an error, that detects when schema.ts imports files that themselves depend on the schema.
Development-environment tokens like npx convex dev can now be scoped to narrower permissions than the full user, preventing agents from pushing to production inadvertently.
