Cursor

The fastest way to get started with Appwrite in Cursor is to install the Appwrite plugin from the Cursor Marketplace. The plugin includes agent skills, MCP servers, and commands, giving Cursor's AI agents everything they need to work with your Appwrite projects.

To install the plugin:

1. Visit the Appwrite plugin page on the Cursor Marketplace.
2. Sign in with your Cursor account.
3. Click Add to Cursor.
4. The plugin will be added to your editor automatically.

Once installed, the plugin gives your AI agents access to Appwrite skills for all major SDKs, MCP servers for the Appwrite API and documentation, and commands for deploying functions and sites.

Get started quickly with these pre-built prompts for common Appwrite integrations:

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 Cursor for deeper integration with the Appwrite API and documentation.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following pre-requisites installed on your system:

Open the Cursor Settings page, head to the MCP tab, and click on the Add new global MCP server button. This will open an mcp.json file in your editor.

Choose which MCP server you want to configure:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "appwrite-api": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-server-appwrite"
            ],
            "env": {
                "APPWRITE_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
                "APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-id",
                "APPWRITE_ENDPOINT": "https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1"
            }
        }
    }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appwrite-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "<https://mcp-for-docs.appwrite.io>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
