What aws-amplify does

aws-amplify coordinates AWS Amplify Gen 2 development as a sequence of guided phases. It can create authentication, data models, storage, and functions under amplify/, then connect a frontend and deploy to a sandbox or production environment. The workflow runs only the phases relevant to the request.

The package includes the amplify-workflow skill, reference instructions for backend, deployment, and frontend integration, plus prereq-check.sh for prerequisite validation. Its aws-mcp server retrieves AWS documentation and SOP material through mcp-proxy-for-aws. You need Node.js >= 18, npm, and the AWS CLI with configured credentials. AWS actions will fail without those credentials.

What it helps with

  • create an Amplify backend with auth and data models
  • add storage for uploaded files
  • deploy an app to a sandbox environment
  • connect a React frontend to Amplify
  • prepare a production deployment through CI/CD
