Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) + Ample: deploy apps from Devin | Ample
The short version
To let Devin Desktop deploy to Ample, install the Ample CLI, run ample auth signup (no browser or card) and connect Devin Desktop to the ample mcp server. Then ask it to deploy: Ample builds the app, returns a live HTTPS URL, and explains any failure so Devin Desktop can fix it.

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
- Windsurf was renamed Devin Desktop on June 2, 2026; the legacy Cascade agent keeps its own MCP configuration.
