mcp AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for an MCP server that exposes Appwrite's API to AI clients. Appwrite is a backend platform, and MCP is a standard way for an AI client to call tools provided by a server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or reviewing the Appwrite MCP server, its HTTP or local transport, OAuth authentication, health checks, telemetry, or API tools.
Why use it?
They explain the server's hosted and self-hosted modes, authentication settings, architecture, and tool responsibilities before code is changed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this repo is

mcp-server-appwrite is a Model Context Protocol server for Appwrite. It exposes Appwrite's API to MCP clients as a small set of operator-style tools, supporting two deployments from one codebase:

  • Cloud (hosted HTTP): a Starlette ASGI app that acts as an OAuth 2.1 Resource Server. It validates the client's bearer token and forwards it to the Appwrite REST API. Served primarily at mcp.appwrite.io/, with /mcp also available as a conventional alias.
  • Self-hosted (stdio): runs locally and authenticates with a project API key (APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID, APPWRITE_API_KEY, APPWRITE_ENDPOINT).

Python ≥ 3.12, packaged with hatchling, managed with uv.

Architecture

Source lives in src/mcp_server_appwrite/:

File Responsibility
__main__.py / server.py Entry point, CLI args, transport selection (--transport stdio|http), service registration, low-level MCP server.
http_app.py Hosted Streamable-HTTP transport: / plus the /mcp alias, RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, /healthz.
auth.py OAuth 2.1 resource-server layer — bearer-token validation against the project's Appwrite authorization server.
flags.py Central registry of tester/testing flags (CLI arg + env var per flag). Enabling and testing them is documented in docs/flags.md.
service.py Service base class: introspects an Appwrite SDK service and turns its methods into MCP tool definitions.
tool_manager.py Registry of all services and their generated tools.
operator.py The compact "operator" surface — appwrite_search_tools, appwrite_call_tool, result/resource storage, write confirmation.
context.py appwrite_get_context — workspace summary (project, services, account/org for OAuth).
docs_search.py In-process semantic docs search (appwrite_search_docs) over a prebuilt index.
telemetry.py OpenTelemetry metrics layer (OTLP/HTTP). No-op unless an OTLP endpoint is configured and the transport is http.
data/ Committed docs index artifact (docs_index.npz, docs_index_meta.json), shipped in the wheel/image.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
