Configuration

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
MISTRAL_API_KEY	yes	yes	Mistral API key from https://console.mistral.ai/. Model-specific usage and rate limits depend on the organization tier.
MISTRAL_BASE_URL	—	—	Optional OpenAI-compatible endpoint (vLLM, TGI, LiteLLM, internal gateway). Setting it routes every call there instead of api.mistral.ai and switches the server to the self-hosted profile.
MISTRAL_MCP_PROFILE	—	—	Tool surface to expose: core (default), admin, workflows, metier-docs, self-hosted. Overrides what MISTRAL_BASE_URL would infer.
MISTRAL_DEFAULT_MODEL	—	—	Default chat and structured-extraction model when a call omits model. Useful for account-specific availability and self-hosted model ids.
