OUR ASSESSMENT

Strengths
  • Appwrite official maintenance.
  • MIT license, 68 GitHub stars.
  • 7 commits on main in the last 30 days.
  • One MCP covers databases, auth, storage, and functions.
  • Supports Appwrite Cloud and self-hosted endpoints via APPWRITE_ENDPOINT.
Weaknesses
  • Appwrite account or self-hosted instance required.
  • API key carries project-scope permissions; create scoped keys per agent.
  • execute_function tool runs serverless functions that may carry cost or side effects.
Security Notes

APPWRITE_API_KEY is project-scoped. Create a key with the minimum scopes the agent needs (databases.read, users.read, etc.) under Project Settings > API Keys. Avoid using the master key for agent workflows.

Best For

Appwrite users adopting agentic backend workflows; teams running self-hosted Appwrite who want one MCP for the whole stack; full-stack developers building agent-managed apps on a BaaS.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION

We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.

The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
