I'm able to pnpm dlx convex dev just fine though

You can't use "pnpm dlx" as a command, the command is "pnpm" and the args are ["dlx", "-y", "convex@latest", "mcp", "start"] although I don't know what the -y is for

beermanOP•4w ago

hmm, tried without the y as well

Can you try running it separately? pnpm dlx convex@latest mcp start works in a terminal for me, I don't know what that -y is for but it doesn't work for me

beermanOP•4w ago

Yep, this was the first thing I tried. I'm not sure what's supposed to happen after running it but at least the command doesn't fail in the terminal

ballingt•4w ago

nice, looks good have you tried it without the -y in your editor?

beermanOP•4w ago

yes
