Use TypeUI with Amp

Follow this guide to connect Amp to TypeUI while it edits UI in your project.

Open Amp

Open the project where you want Amp to build UI.

Add TypeUI to Amp

Amp can load MCP servers from a skill. Create a project skill so TypeUI is available when Amp works on UI:

Run in terminal
mkdir -p .agents/skills/typeui

Create .agents/skills/typeui/SKILL.md:

Plain text
---
name: typeui
description: Use TypeUI design systems, UI prompts, and layout variations when building or improving interfaces.
---

Use the TypeUI MCP server when building, changing, or reviewing UI.

Create .agents/skills/typeui/mcp.json:

Plain text
{
  "typeui": {
    "url": "https://mcp.typeui.sh/mcp"
  }
}

Restart Amp if it was already running. If Amp asks you to authenticate, sign in with TypeUI.

Choose a theme

Browse the Design Skills page to compare available themes.

After you choose a theme, ask Amp to use it:

Use the TypeUI skill. I like the Bento style. Let's use it.

Start building UI

Use TypeUI to build me a landing page.

Tell Amp what to build. TypeUI helps it choose the right style and layout.

Review and refine

Run your app and review the changes. Ask Amp for targeted improvements:

I don't like this pricing section, give me more variations.

TypeUI will now create three pricing variations so you can compare different layouts before choosing one.

After you choose a direction, tell Amp which one to use:

I like the comparison one. Let's use it.

Once Amp is connected to TypeUI, you can keep working in the same flow: choose a theme, ask for the interface you need, review the generated variations, and tell Amp which direction to continue with.
