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/ 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.

<summary><b>Claude Code</b></summary>

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.

<summary><b>Claude Desktop</b></summary>

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.

<details>
<summary><b>Cursor</b></summary>

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.

<details>
<summary><b>VS Code</b> (GitHub Copilot)</summary>

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/"
    }
  }
}

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Codex</b></summary>

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):

<details>
<summary><b>OpenCode</b></summary>

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
    }
  }
}

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Windsurf</b></summary>

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

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

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Gemini CLI</b></summary>

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.

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Antigravity (CLI & 2.0)</b></summary>

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.

<summary><b>GitHub Copilot CLI</b></summary>

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.

<summary><b>Zed</b></summary>

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.

<summary><b>JetBrains AI Assistant / Junie</b></summary>

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/"]

<details>
<summary><b>Cline</b></summary>

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/"]
