Convex

Recently 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.

• Node.js 20 is no longer supported; move to Node.js 22 or later.
• The new v.function({ fnType, args, returns }) validator infers FunctionHandle_future, so existing FunctionHandle annotations may need updating.

Other changes landed alongside.

• HTTP action responses can reach 100 MB, up from 20 MiB.
• Australia and Canada are selectable deployment regions.
• 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.
