MCP with Emergent

Emergent is an AI-powered development platform for building web and mobile apps. You describe the app you want in a prompt, and Emergent's agents build a working application that you keep refining in chat.

How does the integration work?

The Appwrite MCP server connects Emergent to your Appwrite project through the Model Context Protocol. It is a hosted server at https://mcp.appwrite.io/ that uses the HTTP transport and signs you in with OAuth, so there is nothing to install and no API key to create.

Once connected, Emergent's agents can look up your projects, read and change resources such as users, databases, and tables, and search the Appwrite documentation while they build. Changes go through a separate write tool that requires confirmation, and each change carries a short reason that appears in your project's Activity tab.

How to implement

To connect Emergent to Appwrite, there are several steps you must complete:

Step 1: Set up your Appwrite project

First, create an account on Appwrite Cloud if you haven't already, and create a project. You don't need an API key: Emergent asks you to sign in to Appwrite the first time it connects to the server.

Step 2: Add the Appwrite MCP server to Emergent

On the Emergent homepage, click Advanced Controls, then Select MCP Tools, and click New MCP Server. Enter a name for the server, such as appwrite, and paste the following configuration:

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

When Emergent first connects, complete the sign-in flow in your browser to sign in to your Appwrite account and authorize access.

Step 3: Test the integration

Ask Emergent to work with your project, for example:

• Create a new user in my Appwrite project
• List all databases in my project
• Show me the tables in my database
• Show me how to authenticate users with OAuth
