Connect Claude Code to the Bland MCP server

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. Setting up a different tool? See all MCP clients.

Setup

Prefer the Bland plugin here; it does the most in Claude Code. For the server alone, first set your API key in the shell where you run Claude Code. Replace org_... with your key:

export BLAND_API_KEY="org_..."

Then add the server:

claude mcp add --transport http bland https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $BLAND_API_KEY"

Verify the connection:

claude mcp list

Inside a session, run /mcp to see the server’s tools, or just ask:

> list my pathways and tell me which ones have no published version
> pull the transcript of my last call and explain where the agent went off script
> create a pathway that qualifies inbound leads and books a demo

By default claude mcp add configures the server for the current project only. Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
