Amp
Amp is a coding agent by Sourcegraph built around persistent threads. Each thread maintains full context across sessions — come back tomorrow and the agent remembers exactly what you were working on, what MCP data it fetched, and what changes it made. Multi-thread orchestration lets you run parallel coding tasks, each with independent context and MCP tool access.
Persistent Threads That Remember MCP Context
Other agents lose context when you close the editor. Amp threads are persistent — the agent remembers prior MCP tool results, previous file changes, and the reasoning behind decisions from earlier sessions. This is valuable for multi-day tasks where you iteratively refine a feature using external data.
Sourcegraph's code search powers Amp's understanding of large codebases. The agent finds relevant code across repositories, not just in the current project.
Features:
- Persistent threads — full context preserved across sessions
- Multi-thread — parallel coding tasks with independent contexts
- Sourcegraph search — cross-repo code intelligence
- Terminal + IDE — works in both VS Code and the terminal
- Multi-model — Claude, GPT, and other providers
- Checkpoints — snapshot and restore agent state
- Open-source — Apache 2.0 license
Setup
1. Create a Token
In Vinkius Cloud, go to your server → Connection Tokens → Create. Copy the URL.
2. Add MCP Server
In Amp → Settings → MCP → add your Vinkius URL.
3. Thread-Based Coding
Start a thread. MCP tool results persist alongside file changes and conversation context.
FAQ
Do threads remember MCP tool results? Yes. MCP data from previous sessions is available in the thread context.
Can I run multiple coding tasks in parallel? Yes. Each thread is independent with its own context and MCP access.
Does Amp have Sourcegraph's code search? Yes. Cross-repo code intelligence powers codebase understanding.
Is Amp free? Free tier available. Pro plans through Sourcegraph.
