How to Use the Cohere (AI Platform) MCP in Claude

Claude Desktop can check all available options by running listmodels. It can then invoke any of those active models for text generation, classification, or embedding tasks during your chat.

Q: Does this MCP Server support document reranking?

Yes. The server includes the rerankdocuments tool. It lets your agent take a list of text chunks and reorder them by relevance so you don't waste your context window on junk data.

Perplexity

Run Cohere models directly inside Claude Desktop

Stop copying text back and forth between windows. This MCP Server lets Claude Desktop call `generate_text` and `chat_generation` to handle your writing tasks. Your agent drafts responses or transforms messy text formats using Cohere's foundational models right in your active chat. You can also inspect what models you have access to with `list_models`. Claude Desktop uses this to pick the right model for your task, so you don't have to guess what's available.

Reorder search results with intelligent reranking

Claude Desktop gets a massive upgrade in how it handles long documents. By calling `rerank_documents`, your agent sorts through massive text blocks to find the exact chunks that actually matter for your prompt. This means you stop hitting context limits. Claude Desktop passes the raw text to the tool, gets back the structured arrays, and only reads the most relevant parts to answer your questions.

Analyze text structure and classify inputs instantly

This MCP Server lets you organize raw data. Claude Desktop uses `classify_inputs` to map your strings to static categories, evaluating your text against set limits so you can sort feedback, tags, or logs automatically. To handle precise text limits, the agent uses `tokenize_text` to see how your inputs are split. It also generates dense vectors using `generate_embeddings` to run semantic checks directly inside your Claude Desktop interface.
