No OpenAPI document.\n\n**GPT-Live.** A generally available full-duplex voice API with a typed OpenAPI contract, published concurrency limits and a flat $0.05 a minute for the voice session. Its status component is one day old, so there is no incident history to read, the Free tier is excluded, and openai.com refused our reader, so the terms and privacy policy were not read.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Bland AI API + MCP\n\n1. Call `wait_for_call` (it waits up to 45 seconds) instead of polling `get_call_log`\n2. Send destructive MCP tools a second time with the confirmation argument\n3. Space calls to the same number at least 10 seconds apart or expect a 429\n4. Budget $0.015 for every outbound attempt, including ones that never connect\n5. Run `validate_pathway` before saving a pathway graph\n\n### GPT-Live\n\n1. Create sessions on a server with the project API key. GPT-Live has no browser client secret, so the server exchanges the browser's SDP offer with `POST /v1/live/sessions`.\n2. Choose `delegation.type` at creation. Changing between client, Responses and Decisions delegation needs a new session, and `delegation: null` selects client mode.\n3. After `session.started`, listen for `error` with code `responses_validation_failed`. Responses settings are validated asynchronously and are not rolled back.\n4. Do not retry an outbound SIP `POST /v1/live/sessions` after a timeout. Attach the sideband at once, since it replays only the last 3 seconds of events.\n5. Keep the transport open until `session.closed` to read the final `usage.seconds`. A WebRTC session bills 15 seconds at creation, credited once it runs.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Bland AI API + MCP or GPT-Live?\n\nGPT-Live scores 66.8 (B) on agent readiness against Bland AI API + MCP's 63.8 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Bland AI API + MCP leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Bland AI API + MCP and GPT-Live need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Bland AI API + MCP and GPT-Live without installing anything?\n\nYes.
