npx convex env set KEY value. - Safe Access Patterns: Read values via process.env inside actions (with 'use node' when needed), never in queries or mutations. - Security Guardrails: Enforces rules that secrets never live in code or git, with .env.local reserved for local development only. - Use Case: When adding a third-party API key to your Convex backend, set it with the CLI, confirm it with npx convex env list, and access it inside an action without exposing it in your repository. ## Quick Start Set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable on my Convex deployment and show me how to read it inside an action.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Set environment variables in Convex with the CLI command `npx convex env set KEY value`, which stores the value on the current deployment. Confirm the stored values at any time with `npx convex env list`.
Store API keys as Convex deployment env vars using `npx convex env set`, never in source code or git. For local development only, place them in `.env.local`, and give each deployment its own values.
No, process.env is only available inside Convex actions, not queries or mutations. If the action runs in the Node runtime, add the 'use node' directive so environment variables resolve correctly.
Environment variables are undefined in queries and mutations because Convex only exposes process.env inside actions. Move the secret-dependent logic into an action and call it from your mutation if needed.
No, each Convex deployment maintains its own set of environment variables. You must run `npx convex env set` separately for dev, staging, and production deployments with their respective values.
