Appwrite Docs MCP Server

Provides up-to-date Appwrite documentation through MCP endpoints for IDEs and copilots.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appwrite-mcp-for-docs": {
      "url": "https://mcp-for-docs.appwrite.io"
    }
  }
}

You can run the Appwrite Docs MCP Server to expose Appwrite’s documentation as a source of truth for your IDEs. This server lets your code editor or assistant fetch up-to-date docs, navigate topics, and reference guidance directly from your development environment.
