# Connect Manus

Add BLU to Manus as a custom MCP connector, sign in on BLU's page, and use your agency's data in tasks — including scheduled ones.

You need a BLU API key without an IP restriction — see [Get a key](https://docs.blu.luxe/mcp/#get-a-key).

## Add BLU

1. **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**.)

2. **Fill it in**

   *Picture: An illustration of Manus' Add MCP by URL form, with the server name BLU and the server URL https://mcp.blu.luxe/mcp filled 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 URL: `https://mcp.blu.luxe/mcp`

   Click **Save**.

3. **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](https://docs.blu.luxe/mcp/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.
