Connect your Mistral AI account to any AI agent and leverage European-built AI models through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Model Discovery — List all available Mistral models with their IDs, capabilities and context windows
- Chat Completions — Send conversations to Mistral models (large, small, codestral, nemo) and receive responses with configurable parameters
- Embeddings — Generate vector embeddings for semantic search, similarity comparison and vector storage
- Content Moderation — Check text for harmful categories (violence, hate, sexual, self-harm) with safety scores
- File Management — List and delete uploaded files used for batch processing and document AI
- Batch Processing — Create, track and cancel batch jobs for cost-effective asynchronous processing
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Mistral AI API Key
- Start using Mistral models from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more switching between API tools to interact with Mistral. Your AI acts as an LLM orchestration layer.
Who is this for?
- Developers — quickly send messages to Mistral models, generate embeddings and moderate content without writing HTTP code
- ML Engineers — discover available models, compare capabilities and batch-process many prompts efficiently
- Content Teams — review model outputs, moderate user-generated content and manage batch processing jobs via conversation
Built-in capabilities (10)
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
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
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
Provide the file ID from list_files. WARNING: this action is irreversible. Delete an uploaded file from Mistral
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
Provide the batch ID. Get details for a specific batch job
Each batch shows its ID, status (queued, running, succeeded, failed, cancelled), input/output file IDs and request counts. List batch processing jobs
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
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
). 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

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Mistral AI API Key?
Log in to the Mistral Console, go to API Keys in your workspace settings, click Create new key and copy it immediately. You'll need to set up billing in the admin portal first.
What models are available?
Use the list_models tool to see all available Mistral models. Key models include mistral-large-latest (most capable), mistral-small-latest (efficient), codestral-latest (code specialist), and mistral-embed for embeddings. Each has different context windows, capabilities and pricing.
Can I send multi-turn conversations?
Yes! Pass a messages array with alternating 'user', 'assistant' and 'system' roles. Each message has a 'role' and 'content' field. Mistral will continue the conversation based on the full message history.
Can I moderate content for safety?
Yes! Use the moderate tool with text input. It returns safety scores for categories including sexual, hate, violence, self-harm, criminal and other harmful content. This is useful for filtering user-generated content before processing.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
