Appwrite MCP Server

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/mcp_server_appwrite/server.py:71-71 (registration)

  Registers the TablesDB Appwrite service with tool name prefix 'tables_db'. The 'delete' method on TablesDB becomes the 'tables_db_delete' tool.

  tools_manager.register_service(Service(TablesDB(client), "tables_db"))

• src/mcp_server_appwrite/server.py:94-94 (registration)

  Default registration of the TablesDB service as fallback if no services specified.

  tools_manager.register_service(Service(TablesDB(client), "tables_db"))

• src/mcp_server_appwrite/service.py:73-127 (schema)

  Dynamically generates tool definitions and input schemas for all public methods on the service instance, using name 'tables_db_{method_name}' e.g. 'tables_db_delete'.

  def list_tools(self) -> Dict[str, Dict]:
      """Lists all available tools for this service"""
      tools = {}

• src/mcp_server_appwrite/server.py:104-123 (handler)

  Generic handler for all tools, including 'tables_db_delete'. Retrieves the bound method from TablesDB.delete and invokes it with arguments.

  async def handle_call_tool(
      name: str, arguments: dict | None
  ) -> list[types.TextContent | types.ImageContent | types.EmbeddedResource]:
      
      try:
          tool_info = tools_manager.get_tool(name)
          if not tool_info:
              raise McpError(f"Tool {name} not found")
          
          bound_method = tool_info["function"]
          result = bound_method(**(arguments or {}))
          if hasattr(result, 'to_dict'):
              result_dict = result.to_dict()
              return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(result_dict))]
          return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(result))]
      except AppwriteException as e:
          return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"Appwrite Error: {str(e)}")]
      except Exception as e:
          return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"Error: {str(e)}")]

• src/mcp_server_appwrite/tool_manager.py:10-14 (helper)

  ToolManager.register_service: adds the tools from the service (including tables_db_delete) to the registry used by list_tools and get_tool.

  def register_service(self, service: Service):
      """Register a new service and its tools"""
      self.services.append(service)
      self.tools_registry.update(service.list_tools())
