title: "Introducing the Appwrite plugin for Claude Code: Skills and MCP servers in one install"
description: The Appwrite plugin for Claude Code bundles agent skills and MCP servers into a single install, so your Claude Code agent can build with Appwrite out of the box.

Claude Code is built around a specific workflow: a terminal-resident agent that reads, writes, and runs code against your project. Using it with Appwrite has worked for a while, but getting there meant hand-registering MCP servers with `claude mcp add-json`, pasting your project credentials into a JSON payload, and relying on whatever SDK knowledge the underlying model was trained on.

Today, we are announcing the **Appwrite plugin for Claude Code**. Two commands and your agent is set up to build with Appwrite using up-to-date SDK patterns and live access to your project.

# What installing the plugin gives you

The plugin ships three things in a single install:

- **The Appwrite API MCP server:** Pre-registered with Claude Code. You configure your endpoint, project ID, and API key through the plugins menu instead of a JSON payload.
- **The Appwrite Docs MCP server:** No credentials required. Your agent can look up Appwrite's current documentation as it works, rather than relying on what the model was trained on.
- **Eleven agent skills:** Written as Markdown files for the Appwrite CLI and every major Appwrite SDK: TypeScript, Dart, .NET, Go, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, and Swift. Claude Code loads the relevant skill on its own when a task calls for it.

# Setup the plugin

In your terminal, run:

```bash
claude plugins marketplace add appwrite/claude-plugin
claude plugins install appwrite@appwrite
```

Then run Claude Code, enter `/plugins`, move to the **Installed** tab, open **Appwrite**, and select **Configure options**. Enter your endpoint, project ID, and API key. Run `/reload-plugins` to apply the changes to your current session.

# A prompt to try first

Once the plugin is active, try a prompt like:

`Create a new user in my Appwrite project with the email abc@example.com.`

The agent uses the API MCP server to create the user in your project directly, with no code written on your side.

The fastest way to get started with Appwrite in Claude Code is to install the **Appwrite plugin** from the Appwrite 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 commands in your terminal:

```bash
# Add the marketplace
claude plugins marketplace add appwrite/claude-plugin

# Install the plugin
claude plugins install appwrite@appwrite

```

Once installed, run Claude Code and configure the plugin:

- Run `/plugins` in 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.

P2 Renamed anchors may break existing external links

The section IDs #step-2, #step-3, and #step-4 have been renamed to #step-3, #step-4, and #step-5 respectively. Any external pages, bookmarks, or documentation that linked directly to these anchors will now silently land on the wrong section or scroll to the top of the page. Consider whether redirect aliases are needed, or at least verify that no other pages in the site link to the old anchors before merging.


Connect Appwrite MCP servers to Claude Code for deeper integration with the Appwrite API and documentation.
