What can I ask?

Turn on the Mistral connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

What you can do with Mistral in Claude and ChatGPT

For developers who run models, batch jobs and agents on the Mistral platform.

See which models you can use

The AI lists the base models and your fine-tuned models, and opens one for its details.

Track your batch jobs

The AI lists batch inference jobs with optional filters and opens one for its status and details. You see what is running or done.

Cancel a running batch job

The AI checks the job's status and cancels it, so processing and further billing for that job stop.

Changes data

Find uploaded files or delete one

The AI lists uploaded files (fine-tune data, batch inputs and outputs), reads their metadata or a temporary download URL, and deletes a file you name. Deleting cannot be undone.

Changes data

Review your agents or create one

The AI lists agents and reads their configuration, or creates a new agent from the settings you give.

Changes data

Browse your document libraries

The AI lists the RAG document libraries you own or that are shared with you, and the documents uploaded to one library.

How do I connect Mistral?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Mistral API key.

Find it in the Mistral console → API keys (console.mistral.ai). Your key is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the name Mistral and this URL, then click Add:
    https://mistral.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. Claude opens the login page: enter your Mistral API key.
  4. In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Mistral.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

  1. Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name Mistral and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
    https://mistral.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your Mistral API key.
  4. In Plugins, install Mistral, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http mistral https://mistral.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mistral": {
      "url": "https://mistral.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "mistral": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mistral.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add mistral --url https://mistral.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login mistral

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://mistral.usefulapi.io/mcp

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Mistral API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Each paid plan covers this Mistral server only. Ask your AI to run mistral_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with mistral_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with mistral_upgrade before then undoes the cancel.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)mistral_usage_status
    Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
  • Request a missing featuremistral_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Mistral tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+mistral_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Mistral (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptionmistral_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Mistral Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run mistral_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Mistral in Claude or ChatGPT?

See which models you can use. Track your batch jobs. Cancel a running batch job. Find uploaded files or delete one. Review your agents or create one. Browse your document libraries. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Mistral product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mistral. The server calls the Mistral API with your own Mistral access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Mistral to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your Mistral API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my Mistral key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Mistral API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my Mistral credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Mistral API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Mistral.

Can the AI change my Mistral data?

Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 15 Mistral tools can create or change data. The other 12 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Mistral server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run mistral_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run mistral_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run mistral_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Mistral tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with mistral_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.

Need a tool this server does not have, or a connection to another system? We build custom integrations and MCP servers.
