Reviewer Notes

Blend is an enterprise B2B lending platform without public agent-friendly discovery mechanisms—no MCP server, OpenAPI spec, or llms.txt. Account creation requires institutional partnerships and manual onboarding; individual agents cannot sign up independently. API documentation exists but is partner-gated, limiting discoverability. The sandbox environment and OAuth/API key support provide some tooling capability, but the enterprise-only sales model and lack of transparent pricing make autonomous agent adoption unrealistic.
