1. Install the Appwrite plugin
The fastest way to get started with Appwrite in Codex is to install the Appwrite plugin from the Appwrite marketplace. The plugin includes agent skills for the Appwrite CLI and all major SDKs and registers the Appwrite Docs MCP server, giving Codex access to the Appwrite documentation so that it follows the latest and suggested code patterns.
Add the Appwrite marketplace to Codex by running the following command in your terminal:
codex plugin marketplace add appwrite/codex-pluginThen run codex and open the plugins menu to install the Appwrite plugin:
- Run
/pluginsin Codex. - Select the Appwrite plugin from the marketplace listing.
- Confirm the install.
Once installed, the language and deployment skills load automatically based on your task, and the appwrite-docs MCP server is registered for documentation lookups.
The Appwrite API MCP server isn't bundled in the plugin: it needs your endpoint, project ID, and API key, and Codex plugins don't currently expose a way to prompt for per-install configuration in the CLI. Add it manually in Step 3.
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, the docs MCP server is already configured and you can skip to Step 4.
Connect Appwrite MCP servers to Codex 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:
4. Test the integration
Try out the following example prompts based on the MCP server you have configured:
