Mistral AI MCP Tools for Claude Code (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Mistral AI to Claude Code via MCP:
cancel_batch
Provide the batch ID. This is useful if you submitted a large batch by mistake and want to stop further processing. Cancel a running batch job
chat
Requires the model ID (e.g. "mistral-large-latest", "mistral-small-latest", "codestral-latest") and messages array in JSON format. Each message must have a "role" ("user", "assistant" or "system") and "content" (text). Optionally set max_tokens, temperature (0-1), top_p (0-1) and tools array for function calling. Returns the assistant's response. Send a chat message to a Mistral model
create_batch
Requires the input file ID (containing JSONL requests) and the endpoint (e.g. "/v1/chat/completions"). Returns the batch with its ID for tracking. Use list_batches and get_batch to monitor progress. Create a batch processing job
delete_file
Provide the file ID from list_files. WARNING: this action is irreversible. Delete an uploaded file from Mistral
embeddings
Requires the model ID and text input (string or array of strings). Returns embedding vectors for each input text. Useful for semantic search, similarity comparison and vector database storage. Generate embeddings using Mistral
get_batch
Provide the batch ID. Get details for a specific batch job
list_batches
Each batch shows its ID, status (queued, running, succeeded, failed, cancelled), input/output file IDs and request counts. List batch processing jobs
list_files
Files are used for fine-tuning, batch processing and document AI. Each file shows its ID, filename, purpose, size and upload date. List files uploaded to Mistral
list_models
Each model returns its ID (e.g. "mistral-large-latest", "mistral-small-latest", "codestral-latest"), display name, capabilities and context window. Use this to discover which models are available and their IDs for use with the chat tool. List all available Mistral AI models
moderate
). Requires the input text (string or array). Returns safety scores for each category. Useful for content filtering and safety checks before processing user input. Moderate text content with Mistral
