Connect your first machine
What you need to connect a local runtime to an existing Convoy project.
To run AI threads on your machine, connect the Convoy CLI to your project. You need an account with project access, the deployment's Convex URL, Node.js and npm, and an installed, authenticated AI runtime.
Follow Install and connect to install the CLI, approve browser login, select a working folder, and send your first thread. When it works, your profile appears online in the web app and the thread streams a response from the runtime on your machine.
If your team needs a deployment first, start with Deploy Convoy. Contributors running the full stack locally should use Run from source.
You can use projects and tasks or connect an MCP client without keeping a CLI bridge running.
