1. Install the Appwrite plugin
The fastest way to get started with Appwrite in Claude Code is to install the Appwrite plugin from the official 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 command in your terminal:
claude plugin install appwrite@claude-plugins-officialOnce installed, run Claude Code and configure the plugin:
- Run
/pluginsin 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.
If you'd rather configure MCP servers individually, skip to Step 3.
2. Quick start prompts
Get started quickly with these pre-built prompts for common Appwrite integrations:
3. Add MCP servers manually
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:
