Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Convex integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Convex calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Convex data, across all 19 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Convex access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Convex, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Convex is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Convex.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Convex action to support review and sign off.

Supported tools

Every action Ceven's agents can run on Convex, and when to use it.

Create project
Use this when you need to initialize a new Convex project within a team, optionally provisioning the initial dev or prod deployment.
Create deployment
Provision a new deployment for a project. Specify the type, such as production or preview, and set the region and class.
Update deployment
Modify settings for an existing deployment, such as dashboard edit confirmation or deployment reference fields.
Delete deployment
Permanently remove a deployment and all associated data. Use with caution as this action cannot be undone.
Delete project
Permanently delete a project and every deployment linked to it.
Create deploy key
Generate a new deploy key for use with the Convex CLI to enable automated deployment workflows.
List deploy keys
Pull all active authentication tokens that have permission to deploy to a specific deployment.
Get deployment details
Retrieve configuration, region, creation time, and current status for a specific cloud deployment.
Execute query batch
Run multiple Convex query functions in a single request to fetch data efficiently.
List log streams
Pull all configured log streaming destinations such as Sentry or Axiom for a deployment.
List projects
Retrieve all projects associated with a specific team ID.
Get project by slug
Fetch project details using the human readable slug instead of the numeric ID.
Get token details
Identify the team ID or project ID associated with the current authenticated token.
List deployment regions
Pull the list of available regions where a team can host their backend.
Delete Custom Domain
Tool to remove a custom domain from a Convex deployment. Use when you need to delete a previously configured custom domain.
Get Project by ID
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific Convex project by its ID. Use when you need to fetch project metadata including name, slug, team association, and creation time.
Get Query Timestamp
Tool to get the latest timestamp for queries from Convex deployment. Use when you need to retrieve the current query timestamp from the Convex API.
List deployment classes
Tool to list available deployment classes for a Convex team. Use when you need to check which deployment classes are available for a specific team.
List Deployments
Tool to list all deployments for a Convex project. Use when you need to see all deployments (production, preview, or local) for a specific project.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses the standard Convex authentication flow to interact with your account. When you connect, you provide the necessary credentials or go through the OAuth process which grants Ceven a token scoped to your team and project permissions. We store these tokens using industry standard encryption at rest. The agent uses these tokens to make authenticated requests to the Convex API on your behalf. You can revoke access at any time via the Convex dashboard, which immediately stops the agent from performing any further actions. We never store your raw password and the tokens are handled in a secure environment to prevent leakage.
Ceven interacts primarily with the Convex management API rather than the application data layer. While it can execute query batches to read state or validate data, it does not have a generic table editor. To modify data, you should define a mutation function within your Convex backend and then use Ceven to trigger that function via an API call. This ensures that your database schema and validation logic remain the source of truth and that Ceven cannot accidentally bypass your business rules by writing raw data directly into your tables without going through your serverless functions.
Ceven is bound by the same rate limits and quota restrictions imposed by the Convex API for your specific plan. For example, if you are on a free tier, you may hit a limit on the total number of active projects or deployments allowed per team. If the agent receives a rate limit error from Convex, it will automatically implement an exponential backoff strategy to retry the request. We recommend monitoring your Convex dashboard to ensure you have enough headroom for the automation you have built, as Ceven cannot override the hard limits set by the Convex platform.
Yes. Ceven can list all available deployment regions for your team and then assign a specific region when creating a new deployment. This is particularly useful for teams that need to deploy backends close to their users to reduce latency. You can build a workflow that automatically selects the best region based on the customer location provided in your CRM. The agent handles the API call to provision the deployment in that specific region and confirms the status once the deployment is live and ready to accept traffic.
The agent can list and manage your log stream configurations. If you use external monitoring tools like Datadog or Axiom, Ceven can verify that the streams are correctly configured for each of your deployments. You can set up a workflow that checks for the existence of a log stream every time a new production deployment is created. If a stream is missing, the agent can alert your team via Slack or attempt to reconfigure the stream using the available management tools, ensuring you never have a blind spot in your production monitoring.
Deleting a project is a destructive action in Convex that removes all associated deployments and data permanently. Ceven will only perform this action if explicitly told to do so through a workflow or prompt. To prevent accidents, we recommend adding a human in the loop confirmation step to any workflow that uses the delete project or delete deployment actions. Once the API call is sent and Convex processes the request, the data cannot be recovered by Ceven or the Convex support team, as the platform does not provide a trash bin for projects.
Yes. You can build a rotation workflow where Ceven lists the existing deploy keys, creates a new key for the CLI, and then deletes the old keys. This is a security best practice for teams with high turnover or strict compliance requirements. The agent can take the newly generated key and securely push it to your secret manager or CI CD environment variable settings. By automating this process, you ensure that your deployment pipeline remains secure without requiring a developer to manually generate and copy keys every few months.
Ceven connects to the Convex cloud API, so it manages your cloud deployments, projects, and team settings. It cannot interact with a local Convex dev server running on your laptop because those are not exposed via the public management API. However, you can use Ceven to manage the cloud environments that your local development flow eventually pushes to. For instance, Ceven can prepare the production deployment and set the necessary environment variables so that when you run the deploy command from your local CLI, the target environment is already perfectly configured.
