VS Code

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

Connect the Appwrite MCP server to VS Code for deeper integration with the Appwrite API and documentation. It is a remote HTTP server, so there are no additional pre-requisites to install.

In VS Code, open the Command Palette (press CTRL + Shift + P on Windows or CMD + Shift + P on MacOS) and run the MCP: Open User Configuration command.

Update the mcp.json file to include the Appwrite MCP server:

{
  "servers": {
    "appwrite": {
      "url": "https://mcp.appwrite.io/",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}

The server uses OAuth for authentication. When the server starts, VS Code prompts you to authenticate, and your browser opens so you can sign in to your Appwrite account and authorize access.

Once you save the configuration, Copilot Chat will connect with the MCP server and load all available tools.

Open Copilot Chat in VS Code and switch to Agent Mode to test your MCP integration. You can 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?
