AI / Codex
Run Bird from Codex
The plugin brings the skills, one line of TOML brings the tools, and you sign in from the shell. After that Codex knows which sender to use, and why a send that runs twice needs an idempotency key.
A plugin, a line of TOML, a sign-in
Codex's plugin carries the skills but not the server, so the tools are a line of their own in your config. Claude Code is the only client where a plugin does both.
$ codex plugin marketplace add messagebird/bird-ai
$ codex plugin add bird@bird-ai
What Codex already knows.Three operations, and the traps that would otherwise cost it a few rounds of --help.
Send a message. Send it, then read it back, because accepted is not the same as arrived.
$ bird email send
$ bird email get
Set up a sender. Create the domain, add the DNS records it hands you, then verify. Not immediately: DNS takes its time.
$ bird email domains create
$ bird email domains verify
Get notified of events. Tell Bird where to send them, then test that they land. Keep the signing secret from the create call, because it is never shown again.
$ bird webhooks create
$ bird webhooks test
