Questions
Does this configure hosted remote MCP?
Hosted connections use Amp's separate amp mcp remote commands and personal or workspace controls. This page shows the local-client setup.
Does each teammate sign in?
Give each person their own Piply OAuth connection so tool calls use that person's account.
