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. Sign in with Bland will apply to Codex once dynamic client registration is available; until then, use an API key. Setting up a different tool? See all MCP clients.

​
Setup

For Bland Agents work, see the Norm plugin package and Codex setup limitations. For the server alone, add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
Set BLAND_API_KEY in the environment that launches Codex, then restart Codex. For the CLI, export it in the same terminal before running codex:
Replace org_... with your key. For the desktop app or IDE extension, the app’s process must receive the variable too. Editing a shell profile alone may not make it available to an app launched from your desktop; see the Norm plugin for its environment-based credential setup. If your Codex version has trouble with HTTP servers, use the stdio bridge on the Any client page.
