AI / Cursor
Drive Bird from Cursor
Email, SMS, WhatsApp, voice and verifications, written into the file you already have open. Cursor loads the skills for every session, so it knows the shape of a call before it writes one.

Cursor installs the skills as a plugin and reaches the tools over a remote server you add once. The sign-in sits in the same settings panel, and it is the step people miss.
$ curl -fsSL https://cli.bird.com/install.sh | sh
$ bird auth login

What Cursor already knows.Three operations, carried in the skills, so they are in context from the first prompt of a session.
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
