Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP server that lets an assistant read SMS, WhatsApp and email messages, templates, contacts and audiences from a Bird workspace, plus create contacts…

What you can do
  • List and fetch SMS messages and SMS templates
  • List and fetch WhatsApp messages and WhatsApp templates
  • List and fetch sent email messages
  • List and fetch contacts, contact-property definitions, audiences and an audience's contacts
  • Create contacts and static audiences (additive, sends no message)
  • Check usage, request a feature, upgrade or cancel the subscription
When to use it
Useful when you want to ask questions about a Bird workspace's messaging history and CRM records from a chat client, such as recent texts with delivery details, audience sizes, or available templates, without building an integration yourself.
Requirements
Remote endpoint at bird.usefulapi.io/mcp; no local install. Connect with the URL only and sign in through OAuth, pasting a Bird API key on first connect. No Authorization header or API key goes in the client config.
Before you install
The server asks for your Bird API key, which is stored per-user on the hosted service. Two tools create contacts and audiences in Bird, so confirm before running them. Meta tools can start a paid Stripe subscription or cancel it; free tier is 50 calls a month, Pro is $9/month or $90/year with a 10,000-call fair-use limit, and cancellation gives no refund for the current period. Message and contact data is read from your Bird workspace by a third-party host.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Bird MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fbird/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Bird MCP by usefulapi

Read your Bird SMS, WhatsApp, email, contacts and audiences from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Hosted, no local install — connect with your Bird API key.

Live endpoint: https://bird.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/bird

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://bird.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http bird https://bird.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "bird": {      "url": "https://bird.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Bird credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/bird/

On first connect you'll paste your Bird API key. It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you.
