Appwrite MCP Server
OfficialThe Appwrite MCP Server enables programmatic interaction with Appwrite's TablesDB API through a Model Context Protocol interface, allowing developers to manage backend services directly from their IDE or development environment.
Core Capabilities:
Database Management - Create, read, update, delete, enable/disable, and list databases with search and query filtering
Table Operations - Full table lifecycle management including CRUD operations, listing with filtering, and configuring table permissions and row-level security
Column Schema Management - Create and manage columns supporting multiple data types (boolean, datetime, email, enum, float, integer, IP, string, URL), geometric types (point, line, polygon), and relationship columns. Set constraints including required fields, default values, min/max values, array types, and encryption
Row Data Operations - Perform CRUD operations on single or multiple rows, upsert rows, increment/decrement numeric values with optional constraints, and list rows with advanced filtering and pagination
Index Management - Create, delete, list, and retrieve indexes to optimize query performance
Transaction Support - Create transactions with configurable TTL, stage operations (create, update, delete, upsert), commit or rollback changes, list active transactions, and read uncommitted data
Advanced Features - Use Appwrite's query syntax for filtering, sorting, and pagination (up to 100 queries per request), configure granular permission management at database, table, and row levels, perform batch operations, and enforce data validation through column-level constraints
Extension Options - Can be extended to include Users, Teams, Storage, Functions, Messaging, Locale, Avatars, and Sites APIs via command-line flags
Provides tools to manage databases, users, functions, teams, storage, messaging, locale, avatars, and sites within an Appwrite project through its API
Click on "Install Server".

In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Appwrite MCP Serverlist all users in my project"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Appwrite MCP server
mcp-name: io.github.appwrite/mcp
A Model Context Protocol server for Appwrite. It exposes Appwrite's API — databases, users, functions, teams, storage, and more — as tools your MCP client can call.
Connect to the hosted server at https://mcp.appwrite.io/mcp and authenticate
through your browser. The first time you connect, your client opens an Appwrite
consent screen; approve the scopes and you're connected. There are no keys to
copy.
Connect your client
Pick your client below. Each adds the hosted Appwrite Cloud server.
