Connect Mistral AI MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Mistral AI to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate chat and model discovery in Windsurf
Cascade reads your requirements and selects the right model using `list_models`. It then handles the `chat` interaction without you needing to manually toggle settings. Everything happens inside your editor. You define the goal and the server executes the specific `chat` calls to get the job done.
Manage batch processing from the Windsurf editor
Use `create_batch` to start long-running tasks without leaving your workspace. Cascade monitors the status via `list_batches` while you continue writing code. If a job goes off the rails, trigger `cancel_batch` immediately. It keeps your background tasks organized and visible within the MCP panel.
Run content moderation and vector tasks
Pass your user input through the `moderate` tool before processing it. It flags content based on safety scores so your code stays clean. You can also generate vectors for your search features using `embeddings`. It converts your text into numerical data for direct storage.
