What is the Mistral MCP Server?

MCP server exposing Mistral AI capabilities over MCP: chat, embeddings, FIM, vision, OCR, audio, agents, moderation, classification, files, batch, workflows

What the server does

mistral-mcp exposes the full Mistral AI API as a set of MCP tools, resources, and prompts. An MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) can call mistral_ocr to extract text from a PDF, voxtral_transcribe to transcribe a meeting recording, or workflow_execute to start a durable multi-step process — all without leaving the agent loop.

  • self-hosted MCP server, no mandatory SaaS proxy
  • bring-your-own Mistral API key (BYOK) — Mistral states API data is not used to train its models
  • lean core profile and focused metier-docs profile to limit tool exposure
  • process_document cache configurable per-call and via MISTRAL_MCP_CACHE_DIR
  • ID document cache bypass enabled by default, even when kind:"auto" resolves to id_document
  • Streamable HTTP + bearer auth path for controlled / on-prem deployments
