Bird MCP Server

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.

Teams that work with agent skills, bird and codex and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in JavaScript.
