Connect Manus

You need a BLU API key without an IP restriction — see Get a key.

Add BLU

Open Connectors
In Manus, open Connectors, then click Create and choose Add MCP by URL. (Some versions of Manus put it under Settings → Connectors → + Add connectors → Custom MCP → + Add custom MCP → Direct configuration; there, set Transport type to HTTP.)
Fill it in

Adding BLU in Manus: Connectors, Create, Add MCP by URL. Illustration — your screen may look slightly different.

Set the Server name to BLU and the Server URL to:

Server URLhttps://mcp.blu.luxe/mcp

Click Save.
Sign in on BLU's page
Manus asks you to sign in the first time a task uses BLU — not when you save. BLU's sign-in page opens: paste your BLU API key, click Continue, check what Manus will be able to read and click Allow. Manus stays signed in for later tasks.

Manus also lists Custom MCP and Import MCP by JSON next to Add MCP by URL; you only need the URL. If Manus does not open a sign-in page and only offers to add headers, don't paste your key there — write to corp@blu.luxe and we will help you connect.

Use BLU in a task

Mention BLU in your task — for example "Using BLU, how many new and renewed fans did each creator get last week?". More ideas are on Example prompts.

Manus expects quick answers. Most of BLU's come back in a second or two; a large report can take longer. If Manus says a request timed out, ask for fewer days or fewer creators at once.

Automations (tasks that run on a schedule) use BLU the same way and keep working while the key does: extending the key before it expires keeps them connected. After you rotate or revoke the key, connect BLU in Manus again with the current key, then use Test run on an automation to check it.

Disconnect

Remove BLU from your connectors in Manus to disconnect it. Revoking or rotating the key in BLU disconnects every app that uses it.
