Common questions

Is Appwrite MCP safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.4.2) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

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.

Reasons and environments

Every write the agent makes carries a short reason (why it made the change). Appwrite records it on the project's audit log, so you can review what your agent changed, and why, in the project's Activity tab.

On Appwrite Cloud, the agent can act in a project's environments (for example staging): appwrite_get_context lists them, and each call takes the environment's ID as environment_id next to the project's project_id. See Tool surface.

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.

Documentation

Tool surface — the tools exposed to the model and the internal Appwrite catalog.
How Cloud authentication works — the OAuth 2.1 flow.
Documentation search — the in-process appwrite_search_docs tool and how to rebuild its index.
Events — MCP Events: webhook subscriptions to changes in your Appwrite project (in development, not available yet).
Self-hosted Appwrite — run the server locally with a project API key.
