Increase a numeric field on a document

Works with AI assistants

Use Appwrite: its Appwrite Databases API lets you increase a numeric field on a document in a single step (PATCH /databases/{databaseId}/collections/{collectionId}/documents/{documentId}/{attribute}/increment). Appwrite also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.

  • How do I atomically add to a counter like view count or likes?
  • Can I cap an increment so it never exceeds a maximum?
Say it to your AI assistant
  • Increment {attribute} on document {documentId} in {collectionId} of {databaseId} by {value}.
  • Raise {attribute} of document {documentId} ({collectionId}, {databaseId}) by {value} up to at most {max}.
