# Less rediscovery. Better first attempts.

Bird’s skills teach your agent how to choose a sender, interpret a response, and check what happened next.

[Get Started](/dashboard/signup)

[Contact Sales](/demo)

## From prompt to delivered.

Your agent can set up channels, manage customers, and confirm delivery. Full read and write access through MCP and CLI.

**MCP**: `https://mcp.bird.com`

```json
{
  "name": "voice_legs_list"
}
```

Examples: [MCP](/ai/skills.mcp.md) · [CLI](/ai/skills.cli.md) · [TypeScript](/ai/skills.ts.md) · [Python](/ai/skills.py.md) · [Go](/ai/skills.go.md) · [PHP](/ai/skills.php.md) · [HTTP](/ai/skills.http.md)

## Context that changes the next action.

Skills carry the product knowledge. MCP and CLI perform the work.

-

### Choose the right sender

An email address needs a verified domain. An SMS sender must be eligible for its destination. The agent checks before it sends.

-

### Interpret the response

An accepted request is the beginning of delivery. The agent keeps the message ID and reads the next state.

-

### Recover with context

Inspect validation errors, authentication state, and the request outcome before choosing whether to retry.

[Install Bird skills](/docs/ai/agent-skills)

## Install the knowledge. Connect the operations.
