+title: "Introducing the Appwrite plugin for Cursor: Skills, MCP, and commands in one install"
+description: The Appwrite plugin for Cursor bundles agent skills, MCP servers, and deployment commands into a single install, so your AI agents can build with Appwrite out of the box.

+
+Earlier this year, we launched [Appwrite Skills](/docs/tooling/ai/skills), open source markdown files that give AI agents deep, language-specific knowledge of Appwrite SDKs. Skills solved a real problem: agents were generating Appwrite code that looked right but used wrong method signatures, outdated patterns, or missing parameters. With skills installed, agents generate correct, idiomatic Appwrite code without needing documentation pasted into every prompt.
+
+Today, we are taking that a step further. We are launching the **Appwrite plugin for Cursor**.
+
+The Appwrite plugin bundles everything your AI agents need to work with Appwrite into a single install. Instead of manually configuring MCP servers and installing skills separately, you just visit the [Cursor Marketplace](https://cursor.com/marketplace/appwrite), click a button, and your agents are ready to build.
+
+# What is included
+
+The Appwrite plugin packages three types of resources into one install:
+
+## 10 agent skills
+
+Skills for the Appwrite CLI and all major Appwrite SDKs, including TypeScript, Dart, .NET, Go, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Swift. Each skill gives agents accurate method signatures, usage patterns, and best practices for that specific SDK. Cursor's agents discover and load these skills automatically when they are relevant, so you get precise code generation without wasting context.
+
+## 2 MCP servers
+
+The plugin includes both the Appwrite API MCP server and the Appwrite Docs MCP server. The API MCP server lets agents interact directly with your Appwrite project: creating users, managing databases, uploading files, and more. The Docs MCP server gives agents access to the full Appwrite documentation, so they can look up guides, API references, and examples on the fly.
+
+## 2 commands
+
+Built-in commands for deploying functions and sites using the Appwrite CLI, directly from the agent chat.
+
+# Why use the plugin
+
+Before the plugin, setting up Appwrite in Cursor meant manually adding MCP server configurations, installing skills separately, and making sure everything was wired up correctly. It worked, but it was friction that slowed you down.
+
+The plugin removes that friction entirely:
+
+- **One-click install**: Visit the marketplace, sign in, and the plugin appears in your editor. No config files to edit.
+- **Everything in one place**: Skills, MCP servers, and commands are bundled together and stay in sync.
+- **Automatic skill discovery**: Cursor's agents load the right skill for your language and framework without you needing to specify anything.
+
+# How to install
+
+Installing the plugin takes less than a minute:
+
+1. Visit the [Appwrite plugin](https://cursor.com/marketplace/appwrite) on the Cursor Marketplace.
+2. Sign in with your Cursor account.
+3. Click **Add to Cursor**.
+4. The plugin will be added to your editor automatically.
+
+Once installed, open an agent chat and start building. Try a prompt like `Create a new Appwrite project with auth enabled and a users collection` and watch the agent use the right SDK patterns, API calls, and best practices without any extra setup.
