Introducing the Appwrite plugin for Claude Code: Skills and MCP servers in one install_
The Appwrite plugin for Claude Code bundles agent skills and MCP servers into a single install, so your Claude Code agent can build with Appwrite out of the box.
Claude Code is built around a specific workflow: a terminal-resident agent that reads, writes, and runs code against your project. Using it with Appwrite has worked for a while, but getting there meant hand-registering MCP servers with claude mcp add-json, pasting your project credentials into a JSON payload, and relying on whatever SDK knowledge the underlying model was trained on.
Today, we are announcing the Appwrite plugin for Claude Code. Two commands and your agent is set up to build with Appwrite using up-to-date SDK patterns and live access to your project.
What installing the plugin gives you
The plugin ships skills and MCP in a single install:
- The Appwrite MCP server: One remote server at
https://mcp.appwrite.iofor API actions and docs search. Server name:appwrite. - Eleven agent skills: Written as Markdown files for the Appwrite CLI and every major Appwrite SDK: TypeScript, Dart, .NET, Go, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, and Swift. Claude Code loads the relevant skill on its own when a task calls for it.
Setup the plugin
In your terminal, run:
claude plugins marketplace add appwrite/claude-plugin
claude plugins install appwrite@appwrite
Then run Claude Code, enter /plugins, move to the Installed tab, open Appwrite, and select Configure options. Enter your endpoint, project ID, and API key. Run /reload-plugins to apply the changes to your current session.
A prompt to try first
Once the plugin is active, try a prompt like:
Create a new user in my Appwrite project with the email abc@example.com.
The agent uses the API MCP server to create the user in your project directly, with no code written on your side.
Resources
Agent skills for the Appwrite CLI and major SDKs, plus the hosted Appwrite MCP server at https://mcp.appwrite.io so Claude Code can call your project and search current docs. Do not add separate appwrite-api and appwrite-docs servers.
Run claude plugins marketplace add appwrite/claude-plugin followed by claude plugins install appwrite@appwrite. Then open /plugins in Claude Code, go to the Installed tab, configure your Appwrite endpoint, project ID, and API key, and run /reload-plugins to apply changes to your current session.
They complement each other. The MCP server lets Claude Code take live actions against your project (create users, run queries, deploy functions) and search current docs. Skills give the agent up-to-date SDK reference so the code it writes uses current Appwrite APIs instead of whatever was in its training data. The plugin bundles both.
Yes. The plugin source is on GitHub at appwrite/claude-plugin. You can audit the MCP server configuration, fork it, or use it as a reference for building your own Claude Code plugin against another service.
Yes. Cloud uses one remote MCP server at https://mcp.appwrite.io. Any MCP-compatible client (Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Codex) can connect to it. The plugin is a convenience layer for Claude Code.
Check the Appwrite Skills documentation, which explains what skills are, how the AI agent loads them, and how to use them with other AI tools beyond Claude Code. The plugin bundles eleven of these skills out of the box.
