Questions

What can the AI do in Mistral AI?

The AI can run chat completions, OCR, transcription and moderation with Mistral models. It can list, create and update agents and get replies from them, start and continue stored conversations, create and read document libraries, list files and check batch jobs.

Does the AI see my Mistral AI API key?

No. Your Mistral AI credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, for example OCR and library search without agent changes. Deleting a stored conversation is permanent and can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Mistral AI account.

Do Mistral API calls use my credits?

Yes. The calls run on your own Mistral workspace with your API key. Tools that generate replies, such as create_chat_completion and run_agent_completion, use paid API credits there. You can switch off the tools you do not want the AI to use.
