Appwrite

Appwrite MCP server

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/ 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. The conventional https://mcp.appwrite.io/mcp URL is also supported and connects to the same server.

Connect your client

Pick your client below. Each adds the hosted Appwrite Cloud server.

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

Then, inside a Claude Code session, run /mcp, select appwrite, and follow the browser prompt to authenticate.

Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste https://mcp.appwrite.io/. Available on Pro and Max plans; on Team and Enterprise plans only an organization Owner can add custom connectors.

If you don't see that option (free plan, or a Team/Enterprise member), bridge the remote server through stdio instead (requires Node.js). Go to Settings → Developer → Local MCP servers, click Edit Config, and add:

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

Restart Claude Desktop; the server appears under Local MCP servers and a browser window opens to authenticate.

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

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

Cursor prompts you to log in through the browser; the server then shows up under Settings → MCP with its tools enabled.

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/"
    }
  }
}

Edit ~/.codex/config.toml.

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

Then authenticate from the terminal:

codex mcp login appwrite

In the Codex GUI, you can instead add the server from the MCP settings — set the URL to https://mcp.appwrite.io/ and leave the token and header fields empty (authentication happens through the browser):

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/",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

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

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

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

Or edit ~/.gemini/settings.json (note the key is httpUrl, not url):

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

Gemini CLI opens the browser OAuth flow automatically on first connect. To re-authenticate, run /mcp auth appwrite inside a session.

Edit ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json (global) or .agents/mcp_config.json (project workspace).

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

⚠️ Note: Antigravity strictly requires the serverUrl key for remote transport. Using legacy fields like url or httpUrl will cause tool registration to fail silently.

Antigravity opens the browser OAuth flow automatically on first connect. If you manually edit the JSON file, navigate to Settings → Customizations → Installed MCP Servers and click Refresh to reload the tool definitions.

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

Or run /mcp add inside a session, or edit ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json:

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

A browser window opens to authenticate on first connect. Check status with /mcp.

Go to Settings → AI → MCP Servers → Add Server → Add Remote Server, or add to your settings.json (zed: open settings):

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

Zed prompts you to authenticate through the browser on first connect.

Go to Settings → Agents → MCP servers → + Add, choose the URL-based server type, and enter https://mcp.appwrite.io/.

Warp opens a browser window to authenticate on first connect.

JetBrains IDEs don't yet support OAuth for remote MCP servers, so bridge through stdio (requires Node.js). Go to Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP) → Add, switch to the JSON view, and paste:

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

A browser window opens to authenticate on first connect.

Cline doesn't yet support OAuth for remote MCP servers, so bridge through stdio (requires Node.js). In the Cline panel, open the MCP Servers icon → Configure tab → Configure MCP Servers, and add:

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

A browser window opens to authenticate on first connect.

Self-hosted Appwrite

Running your own Appwrite instance? Run the MCP server locally over stdio and authenticate with a project API key. See docs/self-hosted.md for per-client setup.
