About Appwrite MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire backend infrastructure with Appwrite. This unified server provides your agent with instant access to database management, user authentication auditing, and cloud storage monitoring. Your agent can instantly list your databases, audit document collections, and retrieve storage metrics without you ever touching the Appwrite console. Whether you are monitoring cloud function executions or managing project health, your agent acts as a dedicated backend developer through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Appwrite tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 9 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Database Auditing — List all databases and collections, and retrieve documents to analyze data structures.
- User Management — List and inspect project users to monitor registration trends and account statuses.
- Storage Monitoring — Access storage buckets and list files to audit assets and media distribution.
- Function Insights — Monitor cloud function configurations and retrieve recent execution logs for debugging.
- System Health — Get real-time health status for all integrated Appwrite services within your project.
The Appwrite MCP Server exposes 9 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
