As of 6 Oct 2026, Convex gets an AI agent further: L3 · Does the work against L1 · Needs a person.
- Find: Docs for agents: llms.txt, an OpenAPI and an MCP server.
- Access: Can't sign up.
- Use: Work not reached.
- Pay: Payment not reached.
- Leave: Leaving not reached.
Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person to get in: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent read the user docs, the ReDoc API reference and llms.txt on its own, then stopped at signup: the documented account endpoint answers an error demanding a Cloudflare Turnstile token, and the web form shows the same visible challenge. With no account, the key page, the first call and the first piece of work in the API or the official MCP server were never reached. Paying stays card-only through the signed-in web UI once a person sets up the account; the UI also handles cancelling, though the docs name an API route for deleting the account.

Gets in on its own, L3 · Does the work: a documented no-account route provisions a local deployment, where our agent pushed schema and functions, inserted and patched documents, ran an HTTP action, a cron and a scheduler, and set env vars, each checked back. The cloud side stopped at sign-up: a visible Cloudflare "Verify you are human" challenge blocked account creation, so no cloud project, deploy key or MCP session followed. Core backend work, plus file storage, text and vector search, custom-JWT auth and live subscriptions, ran on the local deployment; cloud paying and account deletion stayed out of reach, since both sit behind that same human checkpoint and the dashboard.

A check of our network and browser: It judged where our agent connects from and its browser, not a person. An agent that works on its own from a data center doesn't get through unless the owner lets signed agents in. How agents in a person's own browser fare isn't measured yet. Where we drive from.
