Appwrite MCP server

by appwrite · official

Connect your AI to Appwrite so it can manage your databases, users, functions and files for you.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “How many users signed up this month?”, the Appwrite MCP server connects it to Appwrite, and you get back answer in the chat.

This is the official Appwrite helper for your AI assistant. Appwrite is a service where you keep your app's data, user accounts, files and small pieces of code. Once you connect this, your AI can look at and change those things for you, just by asking in plain words.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app. This one connects your AI to Appwrite, so it can look things up and do things there for you when you ask. You connect it once, sign in through your browser, and then it just works in the background.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your Appwrite project, like how many users you have or what is in a collection. Your AI uses this helper to talk to Appwrite on your behalf. The helper sends the request to Appwrite, gets the answer back, and hands it to your AI. Your AI then explains it to you in the chat, or makes the change you asked for. You never have to open the Appwrite dashboard yourself.

What you can do with it

  • List your Appwrite databases and the collections inside them
  • Look up users and see their details
  • Add, change or remove documents in your collections
  • Check your storage buckets and the files in them
  • See your functions and their settings
  • Look at your teams and who is in them
  • Search Appwrite's own documentation for answers

Try asking your AI

  • “How many users signed up in my Appwrite project this month?”
  • “Show me the collections in my main database.”
  • “Add a new document to my customers collection with the name Jane and email jane@example.com.”
  • “What functions do I have in Appwrite and when did they last run?”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in plain words right in the chat. That can be a list of users, a table of documents, a count, or a short summary of what your project looks like. When you ask it to change something, it tells you what it did. You do not get raw code or files unless you ask for them.

Before you start

What you need

  • An Appwrite account (free to start)
  • An MCP client that supports remote servers, like Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code
  • A browser to sign in and approve access the first time

Good to know

It can change or delete things in your Appwrite project, so be careful with requests that ask it to remove data.

Install it with your AI
