The Bland MCP server is a hosted, streamable-HTTP server. Every client needs the same two values:
  • URL: https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp
  • Header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BLAND_API_KEY
Get your key from the dashboard. Claude Code can also sign in with Bland instead of using a key. Setting up a different tool? See all MCP clients.

Setup

For Bland Agents work, install the Norm plugin (norm@bland). For the server alone, first set your API key in the shell where you run Claude Code. Replace org_... with your key:
Then add the server:
Verify the connection:
claude mcp list showing the bland server connected
Inside a session, run /mcp to see the server’s tools, or just ask:
By default claude mcp add configures the server for the current project only. Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Sign in instead of using a key

Add the server without the header:
Then sign in:
Claude Code opens Bland in your browser. Sign in, choose an organization, and approve what Claude Code can do. To make a read-only connection, uncheck Create and change your agents. Inside a session, /mcp also starts sign-in for a server that needs it. See Sign in with Bland for what the connection can do.
