# Instinct

> Check the requirements for connecting Instinct to Bland and find documented alternatives.

[Instinct](https://instinct.com/) is a personal AI agent you can text or call. Its public site describes access to connected applications and a private access program.

<Note>
  A Bland integration has not been verified in Instinct. Instinct's public site does not document custom MCP servers, arbitrary authenticated API requests, or storage for API credentials. Confirm these capabilities with Instinct before providing a Bland API key.
</Note>

## Connection requirements

To use Bland, your Instinct account would need one of these capabilities:

* A custom MCP connection to `https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp` with an `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BLAND_API_KEY` header
* Authenticated HTTP requests to the [Bland REST API](/platform/agent-quickstart), with a supported way to enter and store your API key

The [Agent onboarding API](/platform/connect-your-agent) additionally requires the agent to start an HTTP request, show you an approval link, poll for approval, and retain the returned credential. A cloud computer or browser alone does not confirm that Instinct supports this workflow.

Once you have confirmed a supported connection method, follow the matching [MCP](/integrations/mcp/clients/other) or [REST](/platform/agent-quickstart) instructions. Verify an authenticated read-only request before asking the agent to place a call or send a text.

## Documented alternatives

If you need a client with documented connection steps now, use [Poke](/integrations/mcp/poke), [OpenClaw](/integrations/mcp/openclaw), or [Meta Muse](/integrations/mcp/meta-muse).
