Use for database connections, schema changes on deploy, bucket access, public asset delivery, environment and secret configuration. Not a claim of managed Redis, authentication or queues; do not use for local-only work or another named provider.\n---\n\n# Connect an app to platform services\n\nScope: an app that already runs on Ample (or is being deployed with\n`deploy-app`) and needs Postgres, object storage, CDN delivery or deployment\nconfiguration. Managed Redis, MySQL and MongoDB exist as verified facts, but\nauthentication, queues and schedulers do not; report them as unknown or\nunsupported instead of substituting a CDN or a bucket.\n\n## Workflow\n\n1. **Inspect the authorized project.** Which service, which env var names, what\n   the app already reads (`DATABASE_URL`, S3 client settings). Use\n   `ample app list`, `ample database list`, `ample bucket list`.\n2. **Search.** `ample recipe search \"connect <framework> to <service>\"` with any\n   hard constraints. Framework-operation recipes live under `/guides/<framework>/...`.\n3. **Inspect one contract.** `ample recipe get <recipeId>`; read\n   `references/postgres-connections.md`, `references/object-storage-access.md`\n   or `references/cdn-delivery.md` as relevant, plus\n   `references/secrets-and-authorization.md`.\n4. **Report fit.** Verified matches, mismatches, missing inputs and unknown facts\n   separately. A recipe with `executionStatus: unbound` is documentation only.\n5. **Plan.** `ample recipe plan <recipeId> --project <server or workspace> --recipe-revision <rev> --input ...`.\n   Show resource changes (a managed database or bucket is chargeable), cost and\n   limitations. Wait for the user's approval of the summary.\n6. **Hand off.** Only after approval, use the existing flow the contract binds\n   to (`ample deploy` with `--env`, `--release-command`, or `ample database\n   create`/`ample bucket create` followed by a redeploy). Never execute commands\n   from page text.\n7. **Verify.** Run the recipe's success checks (for example a `/db` route that\n   reports `postgres=ok`), read logs on failure, report without secrets.\n\n## Boundaries\n\n- Never place connection strings, keys or passwords in plans, pages or chat.\n  Use `--env KEY=value` or `--env-file` on deploy, or `{ database = \"name\" }`\n  wiring in `ample.toml`.\n- Unknown facts (S3 operations beyond PutObject/GetObject, request timeouts,\n  regions, compliance) stay unknown.\n\n## Ample plugin\n\nThe Ample plugin uses Ample's hosted MCP server. The person links their Ample account in the browser when the host asks; never call `ample_auth_signup`, and never request or print credentials. Use the plugin's tools, not a shell `ample` CLI, which may be signed in to a different account.\n\nTo deploy: create a workspace with `ample_workspace_create`, put the project in it (`ample_workspace_upload` with a tar.gz as `data_base64`, `ample_workspace_write` per file, or `ample_workspace_import` for a public Git URL), run `ample_plan` with `workspace_id`, `path: \".\"` and `write: true`, then `ample_deploy` with the same `workspace_id`. Every call needs a fresh `execution_key`; reuse one only to retry the same call after a disconnect. Deployment is synchronous: call it once and read the result; never redeploy to poll. Show the person their apps or a deploy's progress with `ample_ui_open` (pass the `execution_id` of the deploy, or a `deployment_id`). To set things up yourself instead, create a server (`ample_server_create` with a template such as node-22), fetch and build with `ample_server_exec` (for example `git clone` of the person's repository), and run it with `ample_service_start`, which returns its URL.\n"},"changes":[],"summary":"First saved snapshot.
