## 1. Quick start prompts

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

- [TanStack Start](/docs/tooling/ai/quickstart-prompts/tanstack-start)
- [Next.js](/docs/tooling/ai/quickstart-prompts/nextjs)

## 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:

**Example prompts:**

- `Create a new user in my Appwrite project`
- `List all databases in my project`
- `Show me the tables in my database`
- `How do I set up real-time subscriptions in Appwrite?`
- `Show me how to authenticate users with OAuth`
- `How do I implement file uploads with Appwrite Storage?`
