Connect Mistral AI MCP to Claude Code
Create your Vinkius account to connect Mistral AI to Claude Code and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Headless chat and model management
Use `chat` from your terminal to pipe model responses into other scripts. It works without a GUI for your CI/CD pipelines. Run `list_models` to verify model availability in your environment. It ensures your scripts target the correct model version every time.
Control batch processing from the shell
Trigger `create_batch` as part of a cron job or shell script. It returns a batch ID you can track via `list_batches`. If you need to stop a process, `cancel_batch` kills it instantly. It gives you full command over your background jobs.
Embeddings and moderation for CLI pipelines
Pipe text through `moderate` to filter output before it hits your production logs. It returns scores you can parse with grep. Use `embeddings` to generate vector data for your search indexing. It prints the raw vectors for you to store in your database.
