Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes. It discovers them automatically.

How to install Bird in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)

Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this server

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bird": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.bird.com"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Why the wrapper?
This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.
Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.

How to install Bird in CursorAI-first code editor

Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bird": {
      "url": "https://mcp.bird.com"
    }
  }
}

Enable it
Cursor Settings → MCP → toggle the server on. Tools become available to the Composer/Agent.

How to install Bird in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml

toml

[mcp_servers.bird]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.bird.com"]

Why the wrapper?
Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.
Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

Reload
Windsurf → Cascade → refresh MCP servers. Cascade can now call the tools.

What tools does Bird expose?

This server requires credentials before it will list its tools, so we cannot enumerate them here. Connect it in your client to see what it offers.

What the code can do

This is a remote server — nothing is installed or run on your machine, so there is no local code to analyze. What it can reach is described above: your requests go to the provider's host.

What it can reach

Third-party hosted service — Your requests and any data in them are sent to mcp.bird.com.
No local execution — Nothing is installed or run on your machine.

Bird AI Marketplace

Skills for driving the Bird platform from your coding agent. Your agent operates Bird through the bird CLI; the bird plugin in this marketplace installs the skills that teach it Bird's workflows, and on clients that read the plugin's MCP declaration it wires up Bird's hosted MCP server too.

Quick start

Every client starts the same way: install the CLI and sign in.

bash

curl -fsSL https://cli.bird.com/install.sh | sh   # install the bird CLI
bird auth login                                            # sign in (browser, no API key)

On macOS or Linux you can also install with Homebrew: brew install messagebird/tap/bird.

Then jump to your client below. The fastest path is to paste the setup prompt and let your agent do the rest; a manual path is under each one.

No Bird account yet?

bird auth login signs in to an account you already have. An agent with no account can create one from the terminal — no browser, no password. Three commands take you from nothing to a stored credential:

bash

# 1. Sign up. Emails a six-digit code to the address; no password is set.
bird auth signup you@example.com

# 2. Verify. Read the code from that email, then exchange it for a single-use onboarding ticket.
bird auth verify-email you@example.com --code 123456
# → { "onboarding_ticket": "obt_…", "user_id": "usr_…" }

# 3. Create your first org + workspace. Consumes the ticket, then mints and stores the credential.
#    --region picks where the account and its data live (us1 or eu1); the CLI routes there for you.
bird auth create-org "Acme" --workspace-name "Production" --region us1 --onboarding-ticket obt_…

# Confirm it worked — reports the account, org, and workspace you're now acting as.
bird auth status

The code arrives by email, so it comes from outside the CLI — read it from the inbox and pass it to step 2. Signup and verification are region-agnostic; you pick the region once, at create-org, so there is no host or environment variable to set. Every step is self-describing: append --help for the flags, --example for a ready-to-edit request body, or --response-schema for what it returns — none of them need a credential, so an agent can plan the whole chain before running it. Full walkthrough: Self-serve signup.

Any Agent Plugins client

The plugin ships a root plugin.json and mcp.json following Agent Plugins, the portable plugin format. A client that implements the specification loads it from this repository as it is: the skills and the hosted MCP server, in one install. Point the client at github.com/messagebird/bird-ai and install bird from plugins/bird.

For a client with its own plugin format, or none, find it below.
