# How to connect Mistral AI to OpenClaw (paste one key, 54 tools) > Connect Mistral AI to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Mistral AI key once and 54 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/mistral-ai The usual route to Mistral AI access for OpenClaw is an MCP server you configure and keep running, plus your own OAuth app or API keys. ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical Mistral AI setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Mistral AI in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Mistral AI actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Mistral AI. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Mistral AI** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **Paste this into OpenClaw to set up ClawLink:** > I want to connect my apps to OpenClaw through ClawLink. > Please install the ClawLink plugin from ClawHub and enable it: `openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin` > When it is installed, tell me and stop. After I reply, give me the ClawLink pairing link. Setup notes, if you need them: https://claw-link.dev/skill.md **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the OpenClaw plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect mistral-ai # connect Mistral AI (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions mistral-ai # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run mistral-ai --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The setup prompt above does all of this in one paste. By hand, it is one install command plus a browser approval: ```bash openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin ``` Then ask OpenClaw to set up ClawLink. It starts browser pairing and prints an approval link — open it, approve the device, return to the chat, and say `done`. Finally, connect Mistral AI in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Mistral AI API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Create it in Mistral AI for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. ### Using a different agent? The OpenClaw plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login ``` `login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Mistral AI is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 54 Mistral AI tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Mistral AI to OpenClaw and exposes 54 Mistral AI tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using Hermes instead? The [Hermes Mistral AI integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/mistral-ai) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Mistral AI integration can do 54 Mistral AI tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 30 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 54. ### 30 of 54 Mistral AI tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Create agents completion** `mistral_ai_create_agents_completion` | Generate completions using a Mistral AI agent with specific instructions and tools | | **Create audio transcription** `mistral_ai_create_audio_transcription` | Transcribe audio files to text using Mistral AI's Voxtral models | | **Create chat completion** `mistral_ai_create_chat_completion` | Generate conversational responses from Mistral AI models | | **Create chat moderation** `mistral_ai_create_chat_moderation` | Classify chat content for moderation purposes across 9 categories | | **Create embeddings** `mistral_ai_create_embeddings` | Generate vector embeddings for input text using Mistral AI embedding models | | **Create fim completion** `mistral_ai_create_fim_completion` | Generate code completions using fill-in-the-middle functionality | | **Create moderation** `mistral_ai_create_moderation` | Classify text content for moderation purposes across 9 categories | | **Create ocr** `mistral_ai_create_ocr` | Extract text and structured data from images and documents using Mistral AI's OCR capabilities | | **Download file** `mistral_ai_download_file` | Download the content of a previously uploaded file from Mistral AI | | **Get agent** `mistral_ai_get_agent` | Retrieve details of a specific Mistral AI agent by its ID | | **Get agent version** `mistral_ai_get_agent_version` | Retrieve a specific version of an agent (Beta) | | **Get conversation** `mistral_ai_get_conversation` | Retrieve details of a specific conversation | | **Get conversation history** `mistral_ai_get_conversation_history` | Retrieve the full history of a conversation in Mistral AI | | **Get conversation messages** `mistral_ai_get_conversation_messages` | Retrieve all messages from a Mistral AI conversation | | **Get document extracted text URL** `mistral_ai_get_document_extracted_text_url` | Retrieve a signed URL to download the extracted text from a document in a Mistral AI library | | **Get document signed URL** `mistral_ai_get_document_signed_url` | Get a signed URL to download a document from a Mistral AI library | | **Get document status** `mistral_ai_get_document_status` | Retrieve the processing status of a document in a Mistral AI library | | **Get document text content** `mistral_ai_get_document_text_content` | Retrieve the extracted text content of a specific document from a Mistral AI library (Beta) | | **Get file signed URL** `mistral_ai_get_file_signed_url` | Get a time-limited signed URL for downloading a file from Mistral AI | | **Get fine tuning jobs** `mistral_ai_get_fine_tuning_jobs` | List fine-tuning jobs with optional filtering and pagination | | **Get library** `mistral_ai_get_library` | Retrieve detailed information about a specific library | | **Get library document** `mistral_ai_get_library_document` | Retrieve metadata for a specific document in a Mistral AI library | | **Get model** `mistral_ai_get_model` | Retrieve detailed information about a specific Mistral AI model by its ID | | **List agent aliases** `mistral_ai_list_agent_aliases` | Retrieve all aliases for an agent version | | **List agent versions** `mistral_ai_list_agent_versions` | List all versions of a specific agent | | **List agents** `mistral_ai_list_agents` | List all configured agents (Beta) | | **List batch jobs** `mistral_ai_list_batch_jobs` | Retrieve a list of all batch jobs with optional filtering and pagination | | **List conversations** `mistral_ai_list_conversations` | List all created conversations (Beta) | | **List files** `mistral_ai_list_files` | List all files available to the user | | **List libraries** `mistral_ai_list_libraries` | List all document libraries accessible to your organization | ## Example prompts **Create Agents Completion** > Create it in Mistral AI for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. **Create Audio Transcription** > Create it in Mistral AI for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. **Create Chat Completion** > Create it in Mistral AI for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. **Create Chat Moderation** > Create it in Mistral AI for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Mistral AI working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Mistral AI API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Mistral AI account becomes available to the agent without you building credential management. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Mistral AI. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right Mistral AI actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 54 tools for Mistral AI are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Mistral AI to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Mistral AI in the browser, and the 54 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Mistral AI key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### OpenClaw installed the Mistral AI skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Mistral AI, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Mistral AI is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Mistral AI from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Mistral AI tools Mistral AI tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Mistral AI call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### Mistral AI returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### API key setup works but results look incomplete Double-check that the API key for Mistral AI has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Mistral AI integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Mistral AI: link your Mistral AI account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Mistral AI API through 54 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Mistral AI to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Mistral AI skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Mistral AI. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Mistral AI key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Mistral AI to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Mistral AI in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Mistral AI up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Mistral AI working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Mistral AI skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Mistral AI, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Mistral AI is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
