OpenCode + Ample: deploy apps from OpenCode | Ample

The short version

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

Set up OpenCode for Ample

Install OpenCode

curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | 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 OpenCode to Ample's MCP server

Put this in opencode.json in the project or in ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json. OpenCode's format uses mcp and a single command array.

{
     "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
     "mcp": {
       "ample": {
         "type": "local",
         "command": ["ample", "mcp"],
         "enabled": true
       }
     }
}

Add the Ample skills (optional)

Three skills teach OpenCode 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

Add a Postgres database to this app on Ample and redeploy.
