appwrite-cli

A command-line tool for managing Appwrite projects. The command line is a text-based interface where you run commands in a terminal; Appwrite is a backend service for app data, users, files, and server code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to log in, initialize projects, manage functions, sites, tables, buckets, teams, webhooks, and topics, run non-interactive CI/CD workflows, and generate typed software libraries.
Why use it?
It lets you set up, inspect, configure, and deploy Appwrite projects through scripts or terminal commands instead of doing every task manually.

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 C, and why

appwrite-cli scanned grade C with 2 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.

Appwrite CLI

Installation

# npm
npm install -g appwrite-cli

# macOS (Homebrew native binary)
brew tap appwrite/appwrite
brew install appwrite/appwrite/appwrite

# macOS / Linux (script)
curl -sL https://appwrite.io/cli/install.sh | bash

# Windows (Scoop)
scoop install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appwrite/sdk-for-cli/master/scoop/appwrite.config.json

Verify installation:

appwrite -v

Login & Initialization

# Login to your account
appwrite login

# Login to a self-hosted instance
appwrite login --endpoint "https://your-instance.com/v1"

# Switch to a different saved account
appwrite login --switch

# Initialize a project (creates appwrite.config.json)
appwrite init project

# Verify by fetching project info
appwrite projects get --project-id "<PROJECT_ID>"

appwrite whoami can show https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1 as the account login endpoint. That is expected for Appwrite Cloud login. Do not rewrite it to a regional endpoint. Only project configuration and project-scoped API calls use the region endpoint, such as https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1.

Configuration

# Switch endpoint/project for scripted use
appwrite client --endpoint "https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1"
appwrite client --project-id "<PROJECT_ID>"

Resources can be configured inline in appwrite.config.json or split into separate JSON array files using includes.

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.
