Kiro

Kiro is AWS's agentic IDE built around spec-driven development. It works with the full context of your project - turning requirements into specs, reading across the codebase, running commands, and editing files wherever changes are needed. Paired with Buddy, Kiro can deploy your project and let Buddy handle the entire deployment workflow. On top of that, it can trigger and monitor your pipelines, ship changes across environments, and dig through build output and logs when something needs fixing.

Quick start

bash
npm install -g bdy
$

bash
bdy login
$

bash
bdy proj link
$

bash
npx skills add buddy/buddy-plugin
$

Create a snake app and deploy it for me

Example prompts

Once the agent is running and your project is linked to Buddy, try prompts like:

• Create a Next.js app and deploy it to production.
• Deploy an Umami analytics instance and wire it into my app.
• Deploy an AI chatbot with Postgres for history and Redis for rate limiting.
• Deploy my app, set up a CDN, and buy and configure a domain with SSL.
• Add a pipeline that runs on every change in the repository and executes my test suite.
• Add a pipeline that runs every minute, checks that my site is up, and sends a notification to Slack, email, Telegram, or SMS if anything is wrong.
• Check the last few CI pipeline runs for failures, read the logs, and fix the failing tests.
• Analyze the logs from the last production deployment and fix the errors.
• Find the last successful production deployment and roll back to it.
• Check my app logs and open issues based on what you find.

Connect MCP

Give Kiro access to Buddy over MCP so it can run pipelines, manage deployments, and read logs. See the MCP page for the regional server URLs and how to filter the exposed tool categories.

Add the server to .kiro/settings/mcp.json in your workspace (or ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json for all workspaces):

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "buddy": {
      "url": "https://mcp.buddy.works/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or ask Kiro to set it up for you:

Add the Buddy MCP server (https://mcp.buddy.works/mcp) to your MCP configuration.
