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.

claude mcp add --transport http appwrite https://mcp.appwrite.io/mcp

Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste https://mcp.appwrite.io/mcp.

On the free plan, bridge the remote server through stdio instead (requires Node.js) by editing your config via Settings → Developer → Edit Config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appwrite": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.appwrite.io/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appwrite": {
      "url": "https://mcp.appwrite.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Edit .vscode/mcp.json (workspace) or your user configuration via the Command Palette → MCP: Open User Configuration.

{
  "servers": {
    "appwrite": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.appwrite.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Edit ~/.codex/config.toml.

[mcp_servers.appwrite]
url = "https://mcp.appwrite.io/mcp"

Edit opencode.json (project) or ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json (global).

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "appwrite": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.appwrite.io/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appwrite": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.appwrite.io/mcp"
    }
  }
