## The short version

To deploy from Claude.ai or Claude Desktop, add Ample as a custom connector with the URL `https://api.ample.computer/mcp` and sign in with your email. Claude can then plan, deploy and check apps on Ample from the chat and show the live URL.

## Set up Claude for Ample

1. 1

### Add Ample as a connector

In Claude, open Customize > Connectors > Add > Add custom connector, name it Ample and paste this URL. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings > Connectors first.

```
https://api.ample.computer/mcp
```

2. 2

### Sign in

Ample asks for your email and sends a 6-digit code; a new email gets a Free account. Then approve the connection.

3. 3

### 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 the app in this workspace to Ample and give me the URL.
```

## Example prompts

- Create a small to-do app and deploy it to Ample.
- List my Ample apps and tell me which ones failed.
- Show the runtime logs for my latest Ample deploy.

## Notes

- Connectors added on Claude.ai also appear in Claude Desktop.
- For code on your own machine, Claude Code is the better fit: see [Claude Code + Ample](/content/agents/claude-code/index.html).
