Summary

ChatGPT can place outbound phone calls only after being connected to Bland through a custom developer-mode connector using Bland’s hosted MCP server and an authorized Bland account; Bland states it is not affiliated with OpenAI. Users add the connector URL, sign in through Bland, choose an organization, and grant permissions, with access tokens scoped to that organization and removable by disconnecting the connector. Once configured, ChatGPT can use Bland tools to create calls with user confirmation, review call logs and transcripts, access analytics, and manage agents and pathways, while Bland itself handles calling functions. Users must purchase the Agent Phone Plan or credits directly in Bland’s dashboard because the connector cannot make purchases; the plan offers a US local number, calling and SMS subject to fair-use terms, while free credits provide limited calling through shared numbers without texting.
