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.
