# How to connect Bloom to Claude Code, ChatGPT and any AI agent

**Yes, Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents can work in your Bloom account.** Cotlet.dev connects your own signed-in Bloom account to any AI agent, so you can ask in plain words and the AI books clients, prepares invoices and contracts, and follows up on payments for you.

## What you can ask

> Book Maria Lopez for a 2-hour engagement shoot on Saturday at 10 am and email her the confirmation.

> Create a $1,800 invoice for the Carter wedding with a 30% deposit due this Friday.

> Send the wedding contract to Jake and Emma Brooks and tell me on Monday if it's still unsigned.

> Which invoices are more than 14 days overdue? Draft a friendly reminder for each client and show me first.

> What sessions do I have next week? List each client, the time and whether their contract is signed.

## Connect in 2 minutes

Get your API key at https://cotlet.dev/app and export it as `COTLET_API_KEY`.

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http cotlet https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
```

### ChatGPT

Settings → Apps → add connector URL `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1`, then sign in with Cotlet.dev. No API key needed.

### Cursor

Copy `.cursor/mcp.json` from this repo into your project:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cotlet": {
      "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Run it locally (stdio)

This repo is a real MCP server. It speaks MCP over stdio, lists its Bloom tools without any key, and forwards every tool call to the hosted Cotlet.dev server. The hosted URL above stays the recommended way. Use this when your client only starts local servers.

```json
{"mcpServers":{"bloom":{"command":"uvx","args":["bloom-cotlet-mcp"],"env":{"COTLET_API_KEY":"your-key"}}}}
```

Or with Docker:

```bash
docker build -t bloom-mcp .
docker run -i --rm -e COTLET_API_KEY bloom-mcp
```

Tools: `bloom_guide`, `bloom_status`, `bloom_open`, `bloom_read`, `bloom_click`, `bloom_type`, `bloom_close`. Without `COTLET_API_KEY` a tool call answers: "Set COTLET_API_KEY. Get a key at https://cotlet.dev/app".

## Command line

Python 3.10+, nothing else to install. From PyPI:

```bash
pip install bloom-cotlet-mcp        # or run it once: uvx bloom-cotlet-mcp connect
bloom-cotlet-mcp connect
```

Or straight from this repo:

```bash
export COTLET_API_KEY="your-key"
python3 bloom_agent.py connect   # ready config for Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT
python3 bloom_agent.py status    # is Bloom ready in your Cotlet.dev account
python3 bloom_agent.py guide     # Bloom screens and sign-in link
python3 bloom_agent.py read      # open Bloom, read the page, close the browser
python3 bloom_agent.py tools     # list Cotlet.dev tools
python3 bloom_agent.py serve     # start the stdio MCP server (same as no argument)
```

## Questions from Bloom users

**Does Bloom have an API?**

You don't need one. Cotlet.dev works in your own signed-in Bloom account, so your AI agent can book clients, prepare invoices and send contracts without a Bloom API key or developer setup.

**How do I connect Bloom to ChatGPT?**

Add Cotlet.dev as an app in ChatGPT (Settings → Apps, connector URL `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1`), sign in to Bloom once in your Cotlet.dev Cloud Browser, and ask ChatGPT in plain words. No code and no Bloom API key.

**Is there a way to use Claude with Bloom?**

Yes. In Claude Code run the one-line `claude mcp add` command above; in the Claude app add `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1` as a custom connector. Claude then works in your own Bloom account.

**Is there a Bloom MCP server?**

Cotlet.dev is a hosted MCP server that works in Bloom for you, 24/7, with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, n8n, Make and Zapier.

**Is there an official Bloom app for ChatGPT or Claude?**

We could not find a verified official Bloom listing in ChatGPT's apps directory or Claude's connector directory. The Bloom Profit Analytics app in ChatGPT is a separate Shopify analytics product. Cotlet.dev connects your Bloom account to both ChatGPT and Claude.
