Reviewer Notes

Appwrite scores well due to comprehensive REST/GraphQL APIs, detailed documentation, and open-source self-hosted option enabling sandbox deployment. The OpenAPI spec and multiple auth methods support agent integration, and self-signup is programmatically feasible. Main weakness is lack of an official MCP server and no llms.txt, requiring agents to discover and parse APIs manually. Reliability is solid for self-hosted but cloud tier has minor SLA gaps. Free tier is generous for agent experimentation.
