## What bird does, in the publisher's words

Drive the Bird platform from your coding agent.

- bird-cli: operate the Bird API from the terminal with the bird CLI: send and inspect email, manage sending domains and webhook endpoints, check CLI auth, and create a new Bird account from scratch (browserless self-serve signup). Install the CLI with curl -fsSL https://cli.bird.com/install.sh | sh.

The plugin also declares Bird's hosted MCP server at https://mcp.bird.com, a remote (Streamable HTTP) server with a browser OAuth sign-in, no API key. Installing the plugin registers it for you on Claude Code, and on any client that reads the Agent Plugins mcp.json this plugin ships. Elsewhere, add it to your MCP config by hand.

Registering the server is not the same as authenticating it. The server is OAuth-gated, so sign in once per client: in Claude Code run /mcp, select bird, and choose Authenticate, then approve Bird's consent screen in the browser. Until you do, the tools are listed and every call fails.

## Skills

- bird-cli: Use when operating Bird through the bird CLI to send, inspect, or manage API resources or onboard an account; excludes client development.
- email-audit: Use when auditing a live domain's email authentication or spam-delivery problems involving DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, or MX; single-record drafts use bird validators.

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.

## MCP servers

- bird: transport: streamable-http; url: https://mcp.bird.com
