--- title: "Appwrite Cloud MCP server for AI agents - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 763 Appwrite Cloud actions through one MCP server: project, tables DB, databases. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/appwrite-cloud updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Email & messaging # Appwrite Cloud MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Appwrite Cloud and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 763 Appwrite Cloud actions (237 reads, 436 writes and 90 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Appwrite Cloud credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Appwrite Cloud's limits and records every call. [Connect Appwrite Cloud free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you. `claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` the first call ``` do { action: "appwrite.users.list", intent: "check which Appwrite Cloud account is connected" } # List users · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 763 actions in one signed file - 237 read look, never change - 436 write create and update - 90 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Appwrite Cloud in three steps. 1. 01 ### Add actionlake to Claude. Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us. `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` 2. 02 ### Connect Appwrite Cloud. Header credentials. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. - `project_id` Appwrite project ID (Console > project > Settings) - `api_key` Appwrite API key (Console > project > Overview > Integrations > API keys) with the scopes the actions you call need - `host` Where your Appwrite Cloud lives: your host - `organization_id` Your Appwrite Cloud organization id ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "appwrite" } # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you ``` 3. 03 ### Make the first call. Check before a write. Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free. ``` do { action: "appwrite.users.list" } # list users · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "appwrite.users.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Appwrite Cloud at a glance **Sign-in** Header credentials.

The first 10: - Delete file `appwrite.storage.delete_file` - Delete user `appwrite.users.delete` - Delete team `appwrite.teams.delete` - Delete table `appwrite.tables_db.delete_table` - Delete database `appwrite.tables_db.delete` - Delete Application `appwrite.apps.delete` - Delete database `appwrite.mongo.delete` - Delete database `appwrite.mysql.delete` - Delete site `appwrite.sites.delete` - Delete token `appwrite.tokens.delete` A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after. do appwrite.storage.delete_file confirm_policy: **human** Delete file? **intent:** the user asked me to delete file run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _appwrite-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "appwrite-agent", allowed_actions: ["appwrite.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "appwrite.storage.delete_file", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "appwrite.users.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "appwrite.teams.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative.

All 763 actions, with their inputs and prices, are in the [catalogue](https://actionlake.com/console/catalogue), which a free sandbox key can search. Questions ## The Appwrite Cloud MCP server, answered. **Is there an Appwrite Cloud MCP server for Claude?** Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 763 Appwrite Cloud actions across project, tables DB, databases and domains, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Appwrite Cloud. **What do I need to connect Appwrite Cloud?** Appwrite project ID (Console > project > Settings) and Appwrite API key (Console > project > Overview > Integrations > API keys) with the scopes the actions you call need. Plus your host and your organization id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "appwrite" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Appwrite Cloud?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 90 Appwrite Cloud actions are destructive, including delete file, delete user and delete team. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it. **Will an AI agent use up my Appwrite Cloud API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Appwrite Cloud service file: 25 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (216 Appwrite Cloud actions can be), which never reaches Appwrite Cloud. **What does an Appwrite Cloud action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (763 Appwrite Cloud actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Appwrite Cloud refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000. **Which Appwrite Cloud API does it cover?** The Appwrite REST API 2.5.0 (server SDK surface, /v1) at cloud.appwrite.io/v1 by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from Appwrite Cloud's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 763 actions in 30 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Appwrite Cloud data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Appwrite Cloud credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models. **Which AI clients can use it?** Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names. ## More connectors like Appwrite Cloud Shares the most action names with - [Staffbase 11](https://actionlake.com/connectors/staffbase) - [Cisco Webex 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/cisco-webex) - [Genesys Cloud CX 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/genesys-cloud-cx) - [Avaya Experience Platform 8](https://actionlake.com/connectors/avaya-experience-platform) - [JustCall 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/justcall) - [Zulip 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/zulip) Joins with, on shared entities - [Tableau 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/tableau) - [Canvas LMS 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/canvas-lms) - [Metabase 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/metabase) - [Lark Suite 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/lark-suite) - [Files.com 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/files-com) - [Airtable 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/airtable) Browse - [All Email & messaging connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/email-and-messaging) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
