1. Install the Appwrite plugin

The fastest way to get started with Appwrite in Codex is to install Appwrite's official ChatGPT plugin, which can also be used within Codex. The plugin includes the hosted Appwrite connection and thirteen agent skills covering the Appwrite CLI, ten SDKs, and deployment workflows for Sites and Functions. Read the ChatGPT plugin announcement for an overview.

After installation, sign in to Appwrite and authorize access when prompted, then start a new Codex session. The language and deployment skills load based on your task. The plugin includes the hosted connection, so you do not need to add a separate MCP server. Try the prompts below or follow the Codex tutorial to select a project, create a table, and verify the result.

2. Quick start prompts

Get started quickly with these pre-built prompts for common Appwrite integrations:

TanStack Start

Next.js

3. Manual setup without the plugin (optional)

Skip this step if you installed the plugin. To connect the Appwrite MCP server directly, use the remote HTTP server below. It gives Codex access to Appwrite APIs and documentation without running a local server.

Run the following command in your terminal to add the MCP server:

codex mcp add appwrite --url https://mcp.appwrite.io/

The server uses OAuth for authentication. In case Codex does not automatically prompt you to login, run the following command to sign in to your Appwrite account and authorize access:

codex mcp login appwrite

4. Test the integration

Try out the following example prompts:

Example prompts:

• Create a new user in my Appwrite project
• List all databases in my project
• Show me the tables in my database
• How do I set up real-time subscriptions in Appwrite?
• Show me how to authenticate users with OAuth
• How do I implement file uploads with Appwrite Storage?
