Claude Code

The fastest way to get started with Appwrite in Claude Code is to install the Appwrite plugin from the Appwrite marketplace. The plugin includes agent skills for the CLI and all major SDKs and sets up MCP servers for both the Appwrite API and documentation, giving Claude Code everything it needs to work with your Appwrite projects.

To install the plugin, run the following commands in your terminal:

# Add the marketplace
claude plugins marketplace add appwrite/claude-plugin

# Install the plugin
claude plugins install appwrite@appwrite

Once installed, run Claude Code and configure the plugin:

• Run /plugins in Claude Code.
• Go to the Installed tab.
• Select the Appwrite plugin from the list.
• Choose Configure options.
• Enter your Appwrite endpoint, project ID, and API key when prompted.

After saving the configuration, run /reload-plugins to apply the changes to your current session. The appwrite-api MCP server will be ready alongside the agent skills, and Claude Code can now interact with your Appwrite project.

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

If you installed the Appwrite plugin in Step 1, MCP servers are already configured and you can skip to Step 4.

Connect Appwrite MCP servers to Claude Code for deeper integration with the Appwrite API and documentation.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following pre-requisites installed on your system:

Run the following commands in your terminal to add the MCP servers:

claude mcp add-json appwrite-api '{"command":"uvx","args":["mcp-server-appwrite"],"env":{"APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-id", "APPWRITE_API_KEY": "your-api-key", "APPWRITE_ENDPOINT": "https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1"}}'

claude mcp add appwrite-docs <https://mcp-for-docs.appwrite.io> -t http

Run the following command in your terminal (where Claude Code is running).

/mcp

You should see the added MCP servers listed there.

Try out the following example prompts based on the MCP server you have configured:
