2. Add the MCP server

Connect the Appwrite MCP server to Grok Build for deeper integration with the Appwrite API and documentation. It is a remote HTTP server, so there are no additional pre-requisites to install.

Run the following command in your terminal to add the MCP server:

Bash

grok mcp add --transport http appwrite https://mcp.appwrite.io/

The server uses OAuth for authentication. When Grok Build first connects to the server, your browser opens so you can sign in to your Appwrite account and authorize access. In case you are not prompted automatically, run /mcps in Grok Build, select appwrite, and press i to authenticate.

You can verify the server is configured by running grok mcp list in your terminal or /mcps in a Grok Build session.

3. Test the integration

Open a Grok Build session by running grok in your terminal and test your MCP integration. You can try out the following example prompts:
