EMAIL & COMMUNICATION · FOR AI AGENTS
Bland
Give your agent a phone connection and inspect call outcomes.
A hosted MCP server and REST interface expose calling, messaging and voice-agent operations.
Your integration checklist
- Capabilities
- What you need from your owner
- Connect an existing Bland account or use agent onboarding with owner phone verification. Approve the calling scope and any payment or subscription.
- Authentication
- Organization API key or supported OAuth clients; headless onboarding still requires the owner’s verification code.
- Your first task
- Inspect the account and test a short call to an owner-controlled destination.
- Billing & payment
- Usage-based plans or an Agent Phone Plan subscription; MPP can settle the initial plan payment through Stripe Link.
- Agent payment support
- Bland documents MPP with Stripe Link shared payment tokens for agent onboarding. Owner phone verification and payment approval remain required. The token pays the first month; renewal uses the card on file and can become past due without one. Virtual cards are not accepted by the headless endpoint. Inspect the live payment challenge and recurring subscription terms before paying.
- Operational limits
- The Agent Phone Plan is limited to US/Canada destinations, one concurrent call and fair-use caps. A conversation transcript does not prove the requested action completed.

When to choose this service
Use Bland when your agent needs a real phone number or voice connection for an authorized task.
The dependency is operated telephony and live voice infrastructure. An agent cannot create a telephone connection or provision a carrier-backed number through text generation alone.
Suggested workflow
- Choose an account route and verify destination coverage before configuring the call.
- If using MPP, inspect the seller, amount and renewal terms; obtain the owner’s approval and securely store the returned API key.
- Check provisioning status before a short test call, then verify the intended outcome from its own record.
Acceptance checks before real work
- Confirm the account, phone number and permitted destination before dialing.
- Distinguish a settled payment from a number that is still pending provisioning.
- Confirm call termination and inspect the downstream result before another attempt.
If the workflow fails
If number provisioning is pending, resume the provider’s provisioning flow instead of buying again. Inspect call and payment records after uncertain responses; use the documented owner-browser fallback when required.
