What you can do with the Appsmith MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the list applications tool in Appsmith
  • Use the import application tool in Appsmith
  • Use the trigger workflow tool in Appsmith
  • Use the query audit logs tool in Appsmith
  • Use the list workspaces tool in Appsmith
  • Use the get instance info tool in Appsmith

Supported Tools

list_applications

List Applications

List all applications in a given workspace. Applications are the main building blocks in Appsmith, containing pages, datasources, queries, and JS objects.

import_application

Import Application

Import an Appsmith application into a workspace from a JSON definition. The JSON should be in the format produced by the export application tool. Datasource credentials must be reconfigured after import.

trigger_workflow

Trigger Workflow

Trigger an Appsmith workflow by sending a POST request to its webhook URL. The workflow receives the provided JSON payload as input parameters and may return a response. Requires self-hosted Business workflow support. An HTTP acknowledgement does not confirm completion.

query_audit_logs

Query Audit Logs

DEPRECATED — the historical audit-log route and filters are not verified against the current enterprise API contract. Use Admin Settings > Others > Audit logs on a Business instance

list_workspaces

List Workspaces

List all workspaces accessible to the authenticated user. Workspaces are the organizational unit in Appsmith that group applications, datasources, and users together.

get_instance_info

Get Instance Info

Retrieve configuration and feature information about an Appsmith instance, including feature flags, license plan, and available authentication providers. This unauthenticated endpoint is useful for monitoring instance configuration.

manage_workspace

Manage Workspace

Create, update, or delete an Appsmith workspace. Can also retrieve workspace details and members. To create a workspace, provide a name. To update or delete, provide the workspace ID.

check_health

Check Instance Health

Check whether an Appsmith instance is operational. This endpoint does not require authentication and can be used to monitor self-hosted instances.

list_datasources

List Datasources

List datasource metadata in a workspace through the version-sensitive dashboard API. Returns only identifiers, names, connector metadata and native validity flags; connection configuration is omitted.

export_application

Export Application

Export an Appsmith application to a downloadable JSON file. Known decrypted credential fields are removed. Query text, widget configuration and embedded business data can remain sensitive.

list_pages

List Pages

List all pages in an Appsmith application. Pages are the main navigational units within an application, each containing widgets, queries, and JS objects.

manage_application

Manage Application

Create, update, delete, publish, clone, or fork an Appsmith application. Uses version-sensitive dashboard session endpoints. Publishing or public access can expose data; updates to name and public access are separate writes. Exact get reads the authorized base-application inventory, excluding branch-specific discovery.

get_current_user

Get Current User

Retrieve the profile of the currently authenticated user, including their name, email, and role information.

Connect Appsmith to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Appsmith in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Appsmith MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Appsmith tools.

Run Appsmith through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Appsmith and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Appsmith tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.

Technical notes for Appsmith

Read and manage Appsmith workspaces and applications through version-sensitive dashboard session APIs. Download application JSON files with known credential fields removed, import compatible definitions, read page and datasource metadata, and monitor instance health. Native password sessions, instance permissions and compatible versions are required. Workflow webhooks require self-hosted Business support; acknowledgement does not prove completion. The historical audit-log route is retained with an explicit unsupported-operation response.
