Please note that adding a lot of tools exceeds the context window of the LLM. As a result, we will make available a curated list of tools that are most commonly used.

Configuration

Create a .env file in the directory you're running the server from:

APPWRITE_API_KEY=your-api-key
APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id
APPWRITE_ENDPOINT=your-endpoint  # Optional, defaults to https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1

Note: Ensure that your API Key has the necessary scopes to access the resources you want to use.

Installation

Using uv (recommended)

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

uvx run mcp-server-appwrite

Using pip

pip install mcp-server-appwrite

Then run the server using

python -m mcp_server_appwrite

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": {
  "appwrite": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": [
      "mcp-server-appwrite"
    ],
    "env": {
      "APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-id",
      "APPWRITE_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
      "APPWRITE_ENDPOINT": "your-endpoint"  // Optional
