# ChatGPT + Ample: deploy apps from ChatGPT

Add Ample to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server and deploy apps from a chat.

## The short version

To deploy from ChatGPT, add Ample as a custom MCP server on ChatGPT's Plugins page with the URL `https://api.ample.computer/mcp`, choose OAuth, and sign in with your email. ChatGPT can then plan, deploy and check apps on Ample and show the live URL.

## Set up ChatGPT for Ample

1. **Add Ample as a connector.** On chatgpt.com open Plugins > + > Add custom MCP server, name it Ample, paste this URL as the server URL and choose OAuth. Then install it from your personal plugins and mention it with @ in a chat.

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

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. **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.

   ```sh
   @Ample deploy a small landing page and give me the URL.
   ```

## Example prompts

- @Ample list my apps.
- @Ample why did my last deploy fail?
- @Ample create a Postgres database for my app.

## Notes

- Custom MCP servers are available in ChatGPT on the web; workspace permissions apply.
- For code on your own machine, Codex is the better fit: see [Codex + Ample](https://ample.computer/agents/codex).
