How to Create Your Waitlist with Amp

Connect Sourcegraph Amp to the UseWait MCP server and let it build your waitlist: page, slug, confirmation email and custom domain, from the CLI or the IDE. One setting, one prompt.

Amp is Sourcegraph's agent, available in both a CLI and the IDE. Connect the UseWait MCP server and Amp takes a product brief all the way to a live waitlist: slug, page, confirmation email, and a custom domain if you want one. Here is how to create your waitlist with Amp.

Set up your waitlist with Amp
  1. 01
    Get a UseWait API key
    Create a key in UseWait under Dashboard, Settings, API Keys (uw_live_...). Copy it once. API and MCP are available on the free plan.
  2. 02
    Register the server
    Add UseWait under amp.mcpServers in your Amp settings with the url and a headers object, as below. From the CLI you can instead run: amp mcp add usewait --header "Authorization=Bearer uw_live_YOUR_KEY" https://usewait.com/api/mcp/mcp. A server declared in workspace settings needs one-time approval before it runs.
    Amp settings (amp.mcpServers)
    { "amp.mcpServers": { "usewait": { "url": "https://usewait.com/api/mcp/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer uw_live_YOUR_KEY" } } } }
  3. 03
    Give Amp the brief
    Prompt it: "Launch a waitlist for my API monitoring tool. Pick a slug and keep the page clean and technical." Amp reads get_started and get_page_format, creates the waitlist, and writes the page. It is live at usewait.com/w/<slug> right away.
  4. 04
    Extend it
    Ask Amp to connect your own domain (it relays the CNAME record to create for waas.usewait.com), upload a logo, or set up a confirmation email template. Use list_entries to check signups and referrals at any time.
What Amp handles for you
  • Picks and claims a unique slug
  • Writes page code matched to your brand
  • Creates the confirmation email template
  • Uploads logos and images to the CDN
  • Walks you through custom domain DNS
  • Reads signups and referral stats on demand
Frequently asked questions
  • How do I add an MCP server to Amp?

    Either add it under the amp.mcpServers object in settings with a url and headers, or run amp mcp add with a --header flag from the CLI. Both point Amp at UseWait's hosted endpoint with your key.

  • Does Amp work from the terminal and the IDE?

    Yes. Amp ships a CLI and an IDE integration, and the same UseWait MCP configuration works across both.

  • Is the UseWait side free?

    API and MCP access are on every plan, including free. Licensed capabilities like custom domains apply per waitlist.

Get your API key and let Amp launch it

Free plan includes full API and MCP access. Your agent does the rest. Create your free API key.
