Appwrite MCP server

Overview

A Model Context Protocol server for interacting with Appwrite's API. This server provides tools to manage databases, users, functions, teams, and more within your Appwrite project.

Quick Links

  • Configuration
  • Installation
  • IDE Integration:
  • Local Development
  • Debugging

Configuration

Before launching the MCP server, you must setup an Appwrite project and create an API key with the necessary scopes enabled.
Create a .env file in your working directory and add the following:
Then, open your terminal and run the following command

Linux and MacOS

Windows

Command Prompt

PowerShell

Installation

Using uv (recommended)

When using `uv` no specific installation is needed. We will use `uvx` to directly run mcp-server-appwrite.

Using pip

Then run the server using

Command-line arguments

Both the uv and pip setup processes require certain arguments to enable MCP tools for various Appwrite APIs.
When an MCP tool is enabled, the tool's definition is passed to the LLM, using up tokens from the model's available context window. As a result, the effective context window is reduced. The default Appwrite MCP server ships with only the Databases tools (our most commonly used API) enabled to stay within these limits. Additional tools can be enabled by using the flags below.
