AI / Base44
Your Base44 app can send email
Add Bird as a custom MCP connection and Base44's chat builds with live context. Keep the key in server-side code, and the approval tool you built can tell people it needs them.
Connect Bird, then ask for the email
Connecting Bird over MCP hands the agent the tools to finish the setup itself: it mints the key, stores it, and proves the send. Your own domain is the step before launch, not before the first test.

Test & add opens the consent screen. Custom MCPs need a Builder plan or higher.
Three things and it works.Base44's chat talks to Bird over MCP while it builds. The app it ships talks to Bird with these three.
A key, kept server-side. One key carries the region and the permissions. Store it as a secret so it never reaches the browser.
$ Developers → API keys
A sender you are allowed to use. Start on the onboarding domain, move to your own when you launch. Sending from an unverified domain bounces.
$ onboarding@messagebird.dev
One call per message. The SDK reads the region from your key, so there is no host to configure. A send returns accepted, and delivery follows.
$ npm install @messagebird/sdk
