Using Clerk OAuth app with Convex? How to setAuth()?

I am following this for creating my own OAuth app through Clerk: https://clerk.com/docs/advanced-usage/clerk-idp from their tutorial it is clear that I can access 
/oauth/userinfo
/oauth/userinfo
 to get the userId. But I am not sure what is the access token format from Clerk (looks like it is not a convex compatible jwt) and what should I do if I want to use a convex client from backend.

After I have the access token from Clerk OAuth or I already know the userId within the request, how to setAuth() for convex client? I don't know what jwt to pass in since I am using Clerk. Is there a super admin convex client that I can directly operate with known userId?

Thanks for helping!

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
