MCP with Zenflow

Zenflow is a standalone app from Zencoder that coordinates AI agents to build software. You describe a task, Zenflow's agents work on it, and you follow and steer the work in the task's chat. MCP servers are configured per agent.

How does the integration work?

The Appwrite MCP server connects Zenflow's agents 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, an agent can look up your projects, read and change resources such as users, databases, and tables, and search the Appwrite documentation while it works on a task. 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 Zenflow 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: Zenflow asks you to sign in to Appwrite the first time it connects to the server.

Step 2: Add the Appwrite MCP server to Zenflow

In Zenflow, go to Settings > MCP servers, select the agent you want to configure, and add a custom MCP server with this configuration:

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

Click Save. When Zenflow first connects, complete the sign-in flow in your browser to sign in to your Appwrite account and authorize access. Zenflow then loads the server's tools.

Step 3: Test the integration

Open Zenflow Chat for an existing task. If you don't have one, click New Task, select a task type, write a task description, and click Create and Run. Then try prompts like:

• Create a new user in my Appwrite project
• List all databases in my project
• Show me the tables in my database
• How do I implement file uploads with Appwrite Storage?
