It structures the work into phases—setting up backend resources (authentication, data models, storage, functions), deploying to a sandbox for testing, connecting a frontend framework, and finally deploying to production via CI/CD. According to the README, it includes a single skill called amplify-workflow that manages prerequisite checks, plan confirmation, and step-by-step execution, along with an MCP server (aws-mcp) that retrieves AWS documentation and standard operating procedures. It requires Node. js 18 or higher, npm, and AWS CLI credentials to be configured beforehand. The plugin only runs the phases relevant to a given request rather than always executing the full sequence.
About the service
AWS Amplify is Amazon Web Services' platform for building and hosting full-stack web and mobile applications. According to the AWS homepage, it lets developers define backend resources such as authentication, data APIs, storage, and serverless functions using TypeScript, and provides managed hosting and CI/CD for frontend frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt, React Native, and Flutter, deploying through AWS infrastructure including CloudFront.
What you can do with aws-amplify
- Ask the plugin to scaffold or modify an Amplify backend, including auth rules, data models, storage, and Lambda-style functions
- Deploy the backend to a sandbox environment for local testing before going live
- Connect a frontend framework (e.g., React) to the provisioned Amplify backend
- Move an application from sandbox to production using CI/CD workflows
- Retrieve relevant AWS documentation and standard operating procedures via the bundled aws-mcp server
- Run a prerequisite check script to confirm Node.js, npm, and AWS CLI credentials are properly set up
