AI / Claude Code
Run Bird from Claude Code
One plugin brings the skills and declares the MCP server, so Claude arrives already knowing how Bird works: which sender to use, what a status of accepted does not mean, which check to run before it tells you it worked.
Two commands and a sign-in
The plugin carries both halves: the skills Claude reads, and the MCP server it calls. What it cannot carry is your grant, so the sign-in is a step of its own.
$ claude plugin marketplace add messagebird/bird-ai
$ claude plugin install bird@bird-ai
What Claude 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
