What is Mistral Vibe CLI?

Mistral Vibe CLI is the open source command-line coding agent from Mistral AI. It connects to Mistral-hosted models through a Vibe plan or API key, to other compatible providers, or to local models for offline work, and suits teams looking for a European model option.

The CLI installs with a one-line script, uv or pip. It offers built-in agents, subagents and task delegation, interactive questions, a trust folder system, a programmatic mode, an experimental voice mode and custom slash commands via skills. Mistral officially targets UNIX environments, while Windows also works.

Vibe is Mistral's product line that combines a work assistant with coding tools: Vibe CLI, IDE plugins for VS Code and JetBrains and a web interface. Enterprise customers can deploy on premises, in a private cloud or on Mistral Cloud, and get SAML single sign-on. The repository had 5,015 stars and was updated on September 23, 2026.

Mistral Vibe CLI AI features and use cases

  • Explores and edits a codebaseYou ask in natural language, for example to find TODO comments or change a function, and the agent uses its tools to search, read and modify files. Developers get agent help directly in the shell.
  • Works offline with local modelsConnected to a local model, the CLI works without sending code to any cloud. Teams with sensitive code or restricted networks can still use an agent.
  • Delegates subtasksSubagents take over parts of a larger task while the main agent coordinates. Complex changes are broken into steps that can be checked one by one.

What sets Mistral Vibe CLI apart

  • Comes from a European model provider with on-premises and private cloud options for Enterprise.
  • Works with local models fully offline.
  • Also accepts keys from other compatible providers.

Questions to ask before you buy Mistral Vibe CLI

With Mistral-hosted models, code goes to Mistral under the terms of your plan; with local models it stays on your hardware. The installation guide stores API keys in a local config file, so apply your secret-handling rules. Check Windows support if your team does not use UNIX systems.
