Before you start
You need:- A Bloom account with Canvas early access and access to at least one project.
- An MCP client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers and OAuth.
- Permission to open a browser and approve the Bloom connection.
ChatGPT
In ChatGPT settings, add a custom MCP connector with the server URL above, then connect your Bloom account through the browser OAuth flow. Availability of custom connectors depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings. A workspace administrator may need to enable or add the connector.Cursor
Add Bloom to your global Cursor MCP configuration at~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to a project’s
.cursor/mcp.json. If the file already contains other servers, add the Bloom entry to its existing
mcpServers object instead of replacing the file.
1
Open Bloom in Cursor
Open Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP, then find Bloom.
2
Connect your account
Select Connect or Authenticate. Sign in to Bloom in the browser, review the
requested access, and approve it.
3
Return to Cursor
Bloom should appear as connected, and its tools should be available to Agent.
Claude
Claude and Claude Desktop
Remote custom connectors are available on Claude plans that support them.1
Add the connector
Open Settings → Connectors, select Add custom connector, and name it
Bloom.2
Enter the server URL
Enter
https://api.bloom.diy/mcp as the remote MCP server URL, then select Add.3
Connect your account
In a chat, open Search and tools, find Bloom, and select Connect. Sign in to Bloom
in the browser, review the requested access, and approve it.
claude_desktop_config.json does not configure a
remote connector.
Claude Code
Run:/mcp, select Bloom, and follow the browser authentication flow. Verify
the saved configuration with:
--scope project instead of --scope user only if you intentionally want to share the server
definition through the project’s .mcp.json. Authentication remains personal to each user.
Codex
Run these commands once:Confirm the connection
Open a new chat or task and ask:
Use Bloom’s whoami tool to tell me which Bloom account is connected. Do not change anything.
A working connection calls Bloom’s whoami tool and identifies your Bloom account. Your client may
ask you to approve the tool call. Bloom does not expose a list_projects MCP tool.
Before allowing an edit, check the tool name and arguments shown by your client. Read-only tools are
marked as read-only. Editing canvas content, deleting frames, and other writes can change project data.
Disconnect or reconnect
You can disconnect Bloom from your client’s MCP or connector settings. To revoke the server-side session too, remove Bloom from your connected applications in Bloom account settings. The next tool call should require a new connection. If Bloom remains disconnected after you approve access:- Confirm the URL is exactly
https://api.bloom.diy/mcp. - Remove any older Bloom MCP entry that uses a personal access token or
mcp-remote. - Disconnect or clear Bloom authentication in the client, then connect again.
- Restart the client or open a new chat so it reloads its MCP configuration.
