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 Code

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.

Claude Desktop

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.

Cursor

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.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

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/"
    }
  }
}

Codex

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):

OpenCode

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
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

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

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

Gemini CLI

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.

Antigravity (CLI & 2.0)

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.

GitHub Copilot CLI

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`.

Zed

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.

Warp

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 AI Assistant / Junie

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

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.
