How to use convex-http-actions on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

›Cursor installed and configured on your machine
›Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with node --version
›Active project directory where you want to add convex-http-actions

Run the install command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/waynesutton/convexskills --skill convex-http-actions

Fetches convex-http-actions from waynesutton/convexskills and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?

│

│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ────────────────

│ · Cline · Codex · Goose · Windsurf

│ ●Cursor(selected)

│ · Cursor · Aider · Continue

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/convex-http-actions

Restart Cursor to activate convex-http-actions. Access via /convex-http-actions in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

HTTP Actions Overview

HTTP actions allow you to define HTTP endpoints in Convex that can:

Receive webhooks from third-party services

Create custom API routes

Handle file uploads

Integrate with external services

Serve dynamic content

Basic HTTP Router Setup

// convex/http.ts import { httpRouter } from "convex/server"; import { httpAction } from "./_generated/server"; const http = httpRouter(); // Simple GET endpoint http.route({ path: "/health", method: "GET", handler: httpAction(async (ctx, request) => { return new Response(JSON.stringify({ status: "ok" }), { status: 200, headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, }); }), }); export default http;

Request Handling

// convex/http.ts import { httpRouter } from "convex/server"; import { httpAction } from "./_generated/server"; const http = httpRouter(); // Handle JSON body http.route({ path: "/api/data", method: "POST", handler: httpAction(async (ctx, request) => { // Parse JSON body const body = await request.json(); // Access headers const authHeader = request.headers.get("Authorization"); // Access URL parameters const url = new URL(request.url); const queryParam = url.searchParams.get("filter"); return new Response( JSON.stringify({ received: body, filter: queryParam }), { status: 200, headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, } ); }), }); // Handle form data http.route({ path: "/api/form", method: "POST", handler: httpAction(async (ctx, request) => { const formData = await request.formData(); const name = formData.get("name"); const email = formData.get("email"); return new Response( JSON.stringify({ name, email }), { status: 200, headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, } ); }), }); // Handle raw bytes http.route({ path: "/api/upload", method: "POST", handler: httpAction(async (ctx, request) => { const bytes = await request.bytes(); const contentType = request.headers.get("Content-Type") ?? "application/octet-stream"; // Store in Convex storage const blob = new Blob([bytes], { type: contentType }); const storageId = await ctx.storage.store(blob); return new Response( JSON.stringify({ storageId }), { status: 200, headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, } ); }), }); export default http;

Path Parameters

Use path prefix matching for dynamic routes:

// convex/http.ts import { httpRouter } from "convex/server"; import { httpAction } from "./_generated/server"; const http = httpRouter(); // Match /api/users/* with pathPrefix http.route({ pathPrefix: "/api/users/", method: "GET", handler: httpAction(async (ctx, request) => { const url = new URL(request.url); // Extract user ID from path: /api/users/123 -> "123" const userId = url.pathname.replace("/api/users/", ""); return new Response( JSON.stringify({ userId }),
