What is the 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.
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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Appwrite Project ID, API Key, and Endpoint
- Start managing your backend infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Full-stack Developers — instantly retrieve database schemas and audit users during the development cycle.
- Backend Engineers — automate infrastructure checks and monitor function executions through natural language.
- Operations Managers — track project health and storage usage without technical console logins.
- SaaS Operators — integrate Appwrite workflows into internal tools via an AI-guided interface.

Frequently asked questions
How do I list all users in my Appwrite project?
Use the list_users tool. It retrieves a comprehensive list of all registered users, allowing you to audit account statuses and registration activity.
Can I see the data within a specific collection?
Yes! Use the list_documents tool by providing the Database ID and Collection ID. Your agent will fetch the documents stored in that collection for auditing and analysis.
How do I check if my Appwrite services are running correctly?
Use the get_health_status tool. It provides a real-time overview of the health of various system components, ensuring your infrastructure is operational.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
