Claude Code + Ample: deploy apps from Claude Code | Ample

The short version

To let Claude Code deploy to Ample, install the Ample CLI, run ample auth signup (no browser or card) and connect Claude Code to the ample mcp server. Then ask it to deploy: Ample builds the app, returns a live HTTPS URL, and explains any failure so Claude Code can fix it.

Set up Claude Code for Ample

Install Claude Code

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Install the Ample CLI and create an account

ample auth signup creates an account with no browser, card or CAPTCHA. Claim it by email within 48 hours to keep it (ample auth claim --email you@example.com).

curl -fsSL https://get.ample.computer/install.sh | sh
ample auth signup

Connect Claude Code to Ample's MCP server

--scope user makes Ample available in every project; drop it to add Ample to this project only. The -- keeps Claude Code from reading the server's arguments as its own.

claude mcp add --scope user ample -- ample mcp

Add the Ample skills (optional)

Three skills teach Claude Code when and how to deploy, connect services and migrate. Remove the directories to uninstall.

curl -fsSL https://ample.computer/skills.sh | sh -s -- .claude/skills

Ask it to deploy

The deploy waits until the app is live or failed and returns the URL. On failure the result says who must act and suggests a fix.

Deploy this app to Ample and give me the URL.

Example prompts

Deploy this app to Ample and give me the URL.
Add a Postgres database to this app on Ample and redeploy.
The Ample deploy failed. Read the logs, fix the cause and deploy again.
Put the uploads in an Ample bucket and serve them from the CDN.
Move this app from Heroku to Ample.

Notes

Prefer the remote server? claude mcp add --transport http --scope user ample https://api.ample.computer/mcp, then run /mcp in a session to sign in.
Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when the project has no CLAUDE.md; to point it at Ample from a CLAUDE.md, add a line such as "Deploy with Ample (see https://ample.computer/AGENTS.md)".
