# Appwrite MCP server
[](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/?q=io.github.appwrite%2Fmcp)
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.appwrite/mcp -->
A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) 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.
<details open>
<summary><b>Claude Code</b></summary>
```bash
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.
</details>
<details>
<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:
```json
{
"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>
<details>
<summary><b>Cursor</b></summary>
Edit `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (project).
```json
{
"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>
<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**.
```json
{
"servers": {
"appwrite": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.appwrite.io/"
}
}
}
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Codex</b></summary>
Edit `~/.codex/config.toml`.
```toml
[mcp_servers.appwrite]
url = "https://mcp.appwrite.io/"
```
Then authenticate from the terminal:
```bash
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>
<details>
<summary><b>OpenCode</b></summary>
Edit `opencode.json` (project) or `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json` (global).
```json
{
"$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`.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"appwrite": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.appwrite.io/"
}
}
}
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Gemini CLI</b></summary>
```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http appwrite https://mcp.appwrite.io/
```
Or edit `~/.gemini/settings.json` (note the key is `httpUrl`, not `url`):
```json
{
"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).
```json
{
"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.
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>GitHub Copilot CLI</b></summary>
```bash
copilot mcp add --transport http appwrite https://mcp.appwrite.io/
```
Or run `/mcp add` inside a session, or edit `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"appwrite": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.appwrite.io/"
}
}
}
```
A browser window opens to authenticate on first connect. Check status with
`/mcp`.
</details>
<details>
<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`):
```json
{
"context_servers": {
"appwrite": {
"url": "https://mcp.appwrite.io/"
}
}
}
```
Zed prompts you to authenticate through the browser on first connect.
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Warp</b></summary>
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.
</details>
<details>
<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:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"appwrite": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.appwrite.io/"]
}
}
}
```
A browser window opens to authenticate on first connect.
</details>
<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:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"appwrite": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.appwrite.io/"]
}
}
}
```
A browser window opens to authenticate on first connect.
