# Connect Cursor to the Bland MCP server

> Connect Cursor to your Bland account with a one-click install or an mcp.json entry, or install the Bland plugin from the Cursor marketplace.

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](https://app.bland.ai/dashboard/settings). Setting up a different tool? See all [MCP clients](/integrations/mcp/clients).

## Setup

Prefer the [Bland plugin](/integrations/mcp/norm) from the Cursor marketplace. For the server alone, use the one-click install:

<a href="cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=bland&config=eyJ1cmwiOiAiaHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkuYmxhbmQuYWkvdjEvbWNwIiwgImhlYWRlcnMiOiB7IkF1dGhvcml6YXRpb24iOiAiQmVhcmVyIFlPVVJfQkxBTkRfQVBJX0tFWSJ9fQ==">Install in Cursor</a>

After installing, open **Cursor Settings → MCP** and replace `YOUR_BLAND_API_KEY` with your real key.

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global) or `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bland": {
      "url": "https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_BLAND_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Cursor (or toggle the server in **Settings → MCP**) and the Bland tools appear in the agent's tool list.

<Warning>
  Tools that place calls or publish agents have real-world side effects. Keep Cursor's tool-approval prompts on for the Bland server rather than auto-approving everything.
</Warning>
