Summary
Connects Claude to your Appwrite backend through a two-tool interface that searches and calls the full Appwrite API catalog at runtime. Instead of exposing hundreds of individual tools, you get appwrite_search_tools and appwrite_call_tool that dynamically access databases, users, functions, teams, and storage operations. Large responses are stored as MCP resources with preview text to keep context manageable. Write operations require explicit confirmation. Requires an Appwrite project ID and API key with appropriate scopes, which the server validates on startup rather than failing silently later. Useful when you're building or debugging Appwrite applications and want to query collections, manage users, or inspect function logs without switching to the console or writing one-off scripts.

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/mcp 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.

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.
