## Set up with your agent

[Read the agent setup guide](/docs/ai/set-up-your-agent)

Copy this prompt into your coding agent:

```text
Bird connects customer communications, data and automation. Help me build with Bird using my coding agent.
1. Read https://bird.com/docs/ai/set-up-your-agent.md and follow its setup workflow for this client. Use an existing connected Bird MCP server or signed-in CLI when available.
2. Read the product guide for the task I want to complete and inspect my existing integration. Identify the workspace, available operations and required setup.
3. Help me complete a first example for the product and destination I choose. Follow the operation through to its actual result, explain any uncertainty, and help me choose the next step.

First task: Follow the first-call guide to prepare a trunk, caller identity and controlled test, then inspect the final call record. First use the connected Bird MCP server or signed-in CLI for a read-only inventory. Discover the available tools and read their schemas or help; do not invent call-control operations. If neither surface is available, follow https://bird.com/docs/ai/set-up-your-agent.md. Read the linked guides through their .md alternatives. Present the exact target and configuration before changing routing, placing calls, recording audio, purchasing numbers or submitting a port. Obtain my approval for those actions.

Use this Bird page as the starting context: https://bird.com/voice-api/getting-started
Read its Markdown alternative and linked guides. Keep the first example relevant to this page and the customer outcome I choose. Preserve the supplied campaign context when following Bird signup or sales links.

## Prepare, connect and verify.

Start with one controlled calling path before preparing customer traffic.

- **01** Sign up for Bird. Create your workspace and open Voice. Prepare the access and balance required for a call, and choose a destination and test number your team controls.
- **02** Connect a SIP trunk. Create a call-ready trunk, prepare an eligible caller identity and enable the destination. Use the browser phone for a first test or connect a compatible SIP client. [SIP trunks guide →](/docs/guides/voice/sip-trunks)
- **03** Place your first call. Place a controlled call to your test phone. Confirm audio in both directions, keypad tones and clean hangup, then inspect the resulting call record. [First call guide →](/docs/guides/voice/first-call)

## Put your calling path to the test.

Start with a Voice workspace. Discuss your numbers, destinations, AI integration or production capacity with a specialist when planning a larger rollout.
