Documentation Overview

Bird AI Marketplace

Skills for driving the Bird platform from your coding agent. Your agent operates Bird through the bird CLI; the bird plugin in this marketplace installs the skills that teach it Bird's workflows. On Claude Code it also wires up Bird's hosted MCP server.

Quick start

Every client starts the same way: install the CLI and sign in.

Terminal

curl -fsSL https://cli.bird.com/install.sh | sh   # install the bird CLI
bird auth login                                            # sign in (browser, no API key)

On macOS or Linux you can also install with Homebrew: brew install messagebird/tap/bird.

Then jump to your client below. The fastest path is to paste the setup prompt and let your agent do the rest; a manual path is under each one.

No Bird account yet?

bird auth login signs in to an account you already have. An agent with no account can create one from the terminal — no browser, no password. Three commands take you from nothing to a stored credential:

bash

# 1. Sign up. Emails a six-digit code to the address; no password is set.
bird auth signup you@example.com

# 2. Verify. Read the code from that email, then exchange it for a single-use onboarding ticket.
bird auth verify-email you@example.com --code 123456
# → { "onboarding_ticket": "obt_…", "user_id": "usr_…" }

# 3. Create your first org + workspace. Consumes the ticket, then mints and stores the credential.
#    --region picks where the account and its data live (us1 or eu1); the CLI routes there for you.
bird auth create-org "Acme" --workspace-name "Production" --region us1 --onboarding-ticket obt_…

# Confirm it worked — reports the account, org, and workspace you're now acting as.
bird auth status

The code arrives by email, so it comes from outside the CLI — read it from the inbox and pass it to step 2. Signup and verification are region-agnostic; you pick the region once, at create-org, so there is no host or environment variable to set. Every step is self-describing: append --help for the flags, --example for a ready-to-edit request body, or --response-schema for what it returns — none of them need a credential, so an agent can plan the whole chain before running it. Full walkthrough: Self-serve signup.

Claude Code

Paste this prompt into Claude Code and it installs the CLI, signs you in, installs the skills, and sends a test email:

text

Bird is an infrastructure platform that makes it easy to send email to your users. Set Bird up for me, end to end.
1. Install the Bird CLI: run `curl -fsSL https://cli.bird.com/install.sh | sh`.
2. Sign me in: run `bird auth login` and open the browser link for me.
3. Install Bird's skills so you know the workflows: run `claude plugin marketplace add messagebird/bird-ai`, then `claude plugin install bird@bird-ai`.
4. Confirm who I am: run `bird whoami`, which prints the email of the account you're acting as.
5. Send me a test email so I see it land in my own inbox: use my address from `bird whoami` as the recipient, send from onboarding@messagebird.dev, then confirm delivery with `bird email get`. Subject: "Your Bird account is ready". Body: "You're set up and ready to send. This email is the proof. Cheers, The Bird team".
Then let's discuss next steps, given what Bird can do.

Or install the plugin manually:

Terminal

claude plugin marketplace add messagebird/bird-ai
claude plugin install bird@bird-ai

MCP server: installing the plugin registers Bird's hosted server at https://mcp.bird.com, so there is nothing to configure. You do have to sign in once, because the server is OAuth-gated: run /mcp, select bird, press Enter, and choose Authenticate. Your browser opens Bird's consent screen; approve it and the tools work. Until then claude mcp list reports bird as ! Needs authentication and every tool call fails. For a headless run (claude -p) there is no /mcp panel, so authenticate first with claude mcp login bird.

Cursor

Paste this prompt into Cursor:

text

Bird is an infrastructure platform that makes it easy to send email to your users. Set Bird up for me, end to end.
1. Install the Bird CLI: run `curl -fsSL https://cli.bird.com/install.sh | sh`.
2. Sign me in: run `bird auth login` and open the browser link for me.
3. Give yourself Bird's skills (Cursor installs plugins through its UI, so set them up by file instead): fetch the skills from https://github.com/messagebird/bird-ai and write them into `.cursor/rules/` as `.mdc` files.
4. Confirm who I am: run `bird whoami`, which prints the email of the account you're acting as.
5. Send me a test email so I see it land in my own inbox: use my address from `bird whoami` as the recipient, send from onboarding@messagebird.dev, then confirm delivery with `bird email get`. Subject: "Your Bird account is ready". Body: "You're set up and ready to send. This email is the proof. Cheers, The Bird team".
Then let's discuss next steps, given what Bird can do.

To set the skills up by hand, add the messagebird/bird-ai marketplace under Settings → Plugins, or write the skills from this repo into .cursor/rules/ as .mdc files yourself.

MCP server: add the hosted server once in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bird": { "url": "https://mcp.bird.com" }
  }
}

Then sign in: open Cursor Settings → Tools & Integrations, and under MCP Tools click Needs login next to bird. Approve Bird's consent screen in the browser and return to Cursor. The tools fail until you do.

1. Install the Bird CLI: run `curl -fsSL https://cli.bird.com/install.sh | sh`.
2. Sign me in: run `bird auth login` and open the browser link for me.
3. Install Bird's skills so you know the workflows: run `codex plugin marketplace add messagebird/bird-ai`, then `codex plugin add bird@bird-ai` (check `codex plugin --help` if the exact form differs).
4. Confirm who I am: run `bird whoami`, which prints the email of the account you're acting as.
5. Send me a test email so I see it land in my own inbox: use my address from `bird whoami` as the recipient, send from onboarding@messagebird.dev, then confirm delivery with `bird email get`. Subject: "Your Bird account is ready". Body: "You're set up and ready to send. This email is the proof. Cheers, The Bird team".
Then let's discuss next steps, given what Bird can do.

Or install the plugin manually:

bash

codex plugin marketplace add messagebird/bird-ai
codex plugin add bird@bird-ai

MCP server: add the hosted server once in ~/.codex/config.toml:

toml

[mcp_servers.bird]
url = "https://mcp.bird.com"

Then sign in, which opens your browser for Bird's consent screen:

bash

codex mcp login bird

GitHub Copilot

Paste this prompt into Copilot:

text

3. Install Bird's skills so you know the workflows: run `copilot plugin marketplace add messagebird/bird-ai`, then `copilot plugin install bird@bird-ai`.
4. Confirm who I am: run `bird whoami`, which prints the email of the account you're acting as.
5. Send me a test email so I see it land in my own inbox: use my address from `bird whoami` as the recipient, send from onboarding@messagebird.dev, then confirm delivery with `bird email get`. Subject: "Your Bird account is ready". Body: "You're set up and ready to send. This email is the proof. Cheers, The Bird team".
Then let's discuss next steps, given what Bird can do.

Or install the plugin manually:

bash

copilot plugin marketplace add messagebird/bird-ai
copilot plugin install bird@bird-ai

MCP server: add the hosted server once in .vscode/mcp.json:

config.json

{
  "servers": {
    "bird": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.bird.com" }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to trust the server the first time it starts, then runs the sign-in itself: approve Bird's consent screen in the browser window it opens. If no window appears, start bird from the MCP: List Servers command. Your grant is listed under the Accounts menu → Manage Trusted MCP Servers, which is also where you revoke it.

3. Install Bird's skills so you know the workflows: Droid loads skills from `.factory/skills/`, so clone https://github.com/messagebird/bird-ai and copy `plugins/bird/skills/bird-cli` into `.factory/skills/bird-cli`.
4. Confirm who I am: run `bird whoami`, which prints the email of the account you're acting as.
5. Send me a test email so I see it land in my own inbox: use my address from `bird whoami` as the recipient, send from onboarding@messagebird.dev, then confirm delivery with `bird email get`.
