Appwrite MCP Server

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/mcp_server_appwrite/server.py:103-123 (handler)

  Generic MCP tool handler that retrieves the tool info from registry and executes the bound method of the Appwrite TablesDB instance's delete_column method, returning the result.

  @server.call_tool()
  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/service.py:73-127 (schema)

  Dynamically generates tool schemas and definitions for all public methods of the TablesDB service, naming them with prefix 'tables_db_' including 'tables_db_delete_column', using type hints, signatures, and docstrings.

  def list_tools(self) -> Dict[str, Dict]:
      """Lists all available tools for this service"""
      tools = {}
  
      for name, func in inspect.getmembers(self.service, predicate=inspect.ismethod):

          original_func = func.__func__
          
          # Skip if not from the service's module
          if original_func.__module__ != self.service.__class__.__module__:
              continue
  
          # Get the overridden name if it exists
          tool_name = self._method_name_overrides.get(name, f"{self.service_name}_{name}")
  
          docstring = parse(original_func.__doc__)
          signature = inspect.signature(original_func)
          type_hints = get_type_hints(original_func)

          required = []
  
          for param_name, param in signature.parameters.items():

              for doc_param in docstring.params:
                  if doc_param.arg_name == param_name:

• src/mcp_server_appwrite/server.py:70-72 (registration)

  Registers the TablesDB Appwrite service with name 'tables_db', enabling dynamic tool generation including 'tables_db_delete_column'.

  if args.tables_db:
      tools_manager.register_service(Service(TablesDB(client), "tables_db"))
  if args.users:

• src/mcp_server_appwrite/server.py:92-95 (registration)

  Default registration of TablesDB service if no other services specified, enabling 'tables_db_*' tools.

  if not any([args.databases, args.tables_db, args.users, args.teams, args.storage,
              args.functions, args.messaging, args.locale, args.avatars, args.sites]):
      tools_manager.register_service(Service(TablesDB(client), "tables_db"))

• src/mcp_server_appwrite/tool_manager.py:10-13 (registration)

  ToolManager method that registers a service by adding its dynamically generated tools to the registry.

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