How to send a real birthday card by mail, online
Ask your AI assistant to send a birthday card and say when it should arrive. No Errands holds the card and mails it in time. Choose handwritten with a real pen in an envelope ($8.99) or a printed 6x9 card ($3.99), postage included either way.
How to do it with No Errands
- Connect No Errands once. Add No Errands to Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client with the address
https://api.noerrands.com/mcpand sign in with your email. The steps for each assistant are below. You do this once for every errand. - Add credits if you need them. A new account starts at $0.00. Ask your assistant to add credits and it gives you a checkout link. You pay in your own browser, never in the chat.
- Say who it is for and the occasion. Birthday, thank you, sympathy, holiday, congratulations, anniversary, get well or thinking of you. Give the assistant the name, the US address and what you want to say.
- Pick a design and a tier. The assistant shows you designs. A handwritten card is written with a real pen in the handwriting style you pick and arrives sealed in an envelope. A printed card is a 6x9 open postcard-style card.
- Preview it for free. The free preview shows the design, the full message, the address, the price and the mailing date. Name a date and the card is held and mailed so it arrives by then.
- Approve it. The assistant waits for your explicit yes before the card is made.
What to type
Once No Errands is connected, you can ask like this:
Send my brother a handwritten birthday card that arrives by June 12. Address: Leo Park, 9 Vine St, Austin TX 78704. Message: "Happy 30th, old man."
The assistant checks first, shows you what it is about to do and the price, and waits for your yes.
