Follow a guided workflow from app setup to SDK integration and connection checks. The CLI manages your Sendbird app, while the Client Plugin gives your agent Sendbird-specific guidance.
The CLI takes care of your Sendbird app, and the Client Plugin gives your coding agent the Sendbird skills to build on it. Use them together, or start with the one you need.
Set up and manage Sendbird apps from your terminal or coding agent, and run integration checks as you build.

They do different jobs. The CLI works with your Sendbird app from the terminal: sendbird setup signs you in, sendbird app create creates an app and sendbird chat sdk status checks the SDK connection. sendbird skills install lets your agent use the CLI too. The Client Plugin adds Sendbird skills to Claude Code or Codex so your agent can write the integration in your codebase. You add the Client Plugin through your agent's plugin commands. If you skip it, your agent asks to install it the first time you ask for client implementation.
Yes. Open your agent in your app's project and run the setup skill, for example /sendbird-client:setup --product chat in Claude Code. Then use add-feature, ui-customize or push-setup for the next steps, and verify-integration to check the result. The plugin covers iOS, Android, React and React Native.
Connect the CLI with sendbird skills install --agent codex --scope project in your project folder. Add the plugin with codex plugin marketplace add sendbird/sendbird-plugins, then codex plugin add sendbird-client@sendbird. Codex calls skills with $, so setup is $sendbird-client:setup. Claude Code uses /sendbird-client:setup. The skills are the same in both agents.
The CLI uses your Sendbird account permissions. Supported commands offer preview and confirmation controls, such as --dry-run and --yes. These controls vary by command; see the CLI reference for details.
