Connect any MCP client to Bland

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

For the command-line examples, set your API key in the same shell. Replace org_... with your key:

export BLAND_API_KEY="org_..."

The stdio bridge requires Node.js 22+ with npm. For clients not listed here (or your own agent loop), either: Native HTTP: configure a streamable-HTTP MCP server with the URL and header above. Stdio bridge: if the client only supports stdio servers, mcp-remote bridges any of them to the Bland endpoint:

npx -y mcp-remote https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $BLAND_API_KEY"

Raw JSON-RPC: the endpoint is plain HTTP POST, so you can drive it directly:

curl -X POST https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BLAND_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'
