Mistral last month announced a significant upgrade to its API, capturing the essential features now offered by leading large language models (LLMs).

Mistral’s new Agents API resembles OpenAI’s Responses API, which was issued in March 2025. It includes:

  • Code execution. Mistral’s new Code Interpreter mechanism, with Python in a server-side sandbox.
  • Web search. Mistral offers two versions: a basic web_search classic search, and a and web_search_premium“, which enables access to both a search engine and two news agencies: AFP and AP.
  • Document library. It’s Mistral’s version of hosted RAG over “user-uploaded documents”.
  • Model Context Protocol support. Users can now include details of MCP servers in their API calls. The same new feature rollout across OpenAI (May 21st), Anthropic (May 22nd), and now Mistral (May 27th) within eight days of each other.
