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.

Create a draft

Start from a theme, a markdown ZIP, or a Figma import. TypeUI creates an editable draft design system in your workspace.

Choose a themeUse a TypeUI theme as your starting point.Import markdown filesBring existing design-system docs into TypeUI.Beta previewImport from FigmaGenerate markdown from a Figma file.

Review the markdown

Open View markdown source files and review them before publishing.

Files to review

The main entry file. It tells AI tools how to use this design system and where to look next.Logo and brand asset guidance. Colors, typography, and spacing stay in their own files.Color tokens and usage guidance for brand, surfaces, text, borders, and states.Font families, sizes, weights, line heights, headings, labels, and body text rules.Spacing, grids, containers, responsive behavior, and layout structure rules.Button sizes, variants, states, icon spacing, focus behavior, and accessibility rules.+14 more

Edit the source files

Adjust the markdown when you need clearer rules, stronger component guidance, or product-specific language. After publishing, TypeUI MCP uses your saved edits when it helps your AI tool build UI.

Publish for MCP

Publish when ready so your MCP-connected AI tool can 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 design system, ask for the interface you need, review the generated variations, and tell Amp which direction to continue with.
