 ## Installation
 
+### Installing via Smithery
+
+To install Appwrite MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@appwrite/mcp):
+
+```bash
+npx -y @smithery/cli install @appwrite/mcp --client claude
+```
+
 ### Using uv (recommended)
 When using [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) no specific installation is needed. We will
 use [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run *mcp-server-appwrite*.
