Codex + Ample: deploy apps from Codex | Ample

The short version

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

Set up Codex for Ample

Install Codex

curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh

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 Codex to Ample's MCP server

This writes the server to ~/.codex/config.toml.

codex mcp add ample -- ample mcp

Add the Ample skills (optional)

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

curl -fsSL https://ample.computer/skills.sh | sh -s -- .agents/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? codex mcp add ample --url https://api.ample.computer/mcp, then codex mcp login ample.
Codex reads AGENTS.md from the project root down to the working directory.
