Not a coding tool? If you are a personal AI assistant such as Grok Bot, Meta Muse, OpenClaw, Instinct, or Poke, or you are setting one up, this is not your page. Go to Personal AI Agents.
For Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Codex, the recommended setup is the Bland plugin: the MCP server plus skills for every part of the platform, /bland:* commands, and Norm, the agent builder. Start there. To connect the server directly, without the plugin, pick your client:

ChatGPT

Claude Code

Cursor

Codex

VS Code

Claude Desktop

Windsurf

Gemini CLI

Any client

Every client except ChatGPT uses the same two values:
  • URL: https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp
  • Header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BLAND_API_KEY
Get your key from the dashboard. Keep tool-approval prompts on for the Bland server: tools that place calls or publish agents have real-world side effects. ChatGPT signs in with Bland instead: add the URL as a connector and sign in when ChatGPT opens Bland. Claude and Claude Code can sign in the same way instead of using a key. Sign-in will apply to the other clients once dynamic client registration is available.
