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.
Every client starts the same way: install the CLI and sign in.
curl -fsSL https://cli.platform.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.
Paste this prompt into Claude Code and it installs the CLI, signs you in, installs the skills, and sends a test email:
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.platform.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:
claude plugin marketplace add messagebird/bird-ai
claude plugin install bird@bird-aiMCP server: installing the plugin connects Bird's hosted server at https://mcp.platform.bird.com automatically. Nothing else to configure.
Paste this prompt into Cursor:
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.platform.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:
{
"mcpServers": {
"bird": { "url": "https://mcp.platform.bird.com" }
}

To set the skills up by hand:
git clone https://github.com/messagebird/bird-ai
cp -r bird-ai/plugins/bird/skills/bird-cli .factory/skills/bird-cliMCP server: add the hosted server once:
droid mcp add bird https://mcp.platform.bird.com --type httpbird-cli: operate the Bird API from the terminal. Send and inspect email, manage sending domains, dedicated IPs and IP pools, and webhook endpoints, and check CLI auth.- Bird MCP server: the hosted server at
https://mcp.platform.bird.com, so your agent can call Bird directly with a browser sign-in and no API key. Auto-connected on Claude Code; a one-time config elsewhere (above).
