## Description

This plugin by [Zactonz Technologies](https://zactonz.com/) adds [Mistral AI](https://mistral.ai/)
as an AI provider for the WordPress AI Client. It is built for the WordPress **Settings
> Connectors** screen and for the plugin directory connector search, so a site owner
who needs Mistral AI can find it, install it, paste a key, and have every AI feature
in WordPress start using it.

Mistral AI publishes European open-weight and commercial models, hosts a few third-
party ones alongside them, and reports per-model capabilities in its own API. This
connector reads those capability flags directly, so chat, vision, function calling
and reasoning each appear in WordPress with exactly the features Mistral says they
have. Its embedding models are recognised as well, and will be offered as soon as
the WordPress AI Client ships its embedding model contract. Transcription, speech,
OCR, moderation and safety classification models are listed by the same endpoint
and are left out, because the AI Client has nowhere to put them.

**Disclaimer:** this connector is developed by Zactonz Technologies and is not affiliated
with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Mistral AI. Mistral AI is a trademark of Mistral
AI SAS.

**Features:**

 * Text generation with every Mistral AI chat model your credentials can reach
 * Automatic model discovery, taking each model’s capabilities from the provider’s
   own catalogue wherever it publishes them
 * Separate default model per capability, or automatic selection by the WordPress
   AI Client
 * Vision input on models that accept images
 * Tool calling on models that report function support
 * Structured output with a JSON schema on models that support it
 * Single and batch embedding generation, offered once the WordPress AI Client ships
   its embedding model contract
 * Reasoning effort control for the default text model
 * Cancellable server-sent event streaming for content, reasoning, and tool-call
   chunks
 * Configurable request timeouts for text and embeddings
 * API key supplied by a PHP constant or an environment variable instead of the 
   database
 * An API base URL override for a proxy or gateway, within the hosts and ports WordPress
   permits outbound requests to
 * Redacted diagnostics and a WordPress Site Health connectivity test

**Requirements:**

 * PHP 7.4 or higher
 * WordPress 7.0 or higher
 * A Mistral AI account and API key

### External services

This plugin sends requests to Mistral AI, a third-party service, and does nothing
without it. Requests go to the Mistral AI API at `https://api.mistral.ai/v1`, or
to the API base URL you set in the connector settings.

**What is sent and when:** the API key you configure, and the prompts, images, tool
definitions and generation settings that a WordPress AI feature passes to the AI
Client, each time such a feature runs a request through this connector. The connector
also requests the model catalogue when its settings screen loads, when a WordPress
AI feature asks which models are available, and when you run diagnostics or the 
Site Health test. No other data is sent.

**Service provider:** Mistral AI ([terms of service](https://legal.mistral.ai/terms/get-started/),
[privacy policy](https://legal.mistral.ai/terms/privacy-policy/)).

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/zactonz-ai-connector-for-mistral-
    ai/`, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings > Connectors** and add your Mistral AI API key.
 4. Go to **Settings > Mistral AI** to review the discovered models and choose a default
    model per capability.

## FAQ

### Where do I get an API key?

Create one on the Mistral AI dashboard: https://console.mistral.ai/api-keys

### Can I keep the key out of the database?

Yes. Define `MISTRAL_API_KEY` in `wp-config.php`, or set an environment variable
of the same name. When either is present the connector uses it, the settings field
is disabled, and nothing is written to the database.

### Which models will I see?

Models and their capabilities are listed from the Mistral AI platform. Each model
is offered as vision, tool-calling, structured-output or embedding capable according
to what Mistral AI publishes about it, and the connector falls back to the model
identifier only where Mistral AI publishes nothing.

### Does this replace the connectors in WordPress core?

No. WordPress core ships its own connectors. This plugin adds Mistral AI alongside
them, and you can keep several connectors active at once and pick a default model
per capability.

### Is my key ever displayed or logged?

No. The key is stored in its own option, is never rendered back into the settings
screen, and is excluded from the diagnostics report and from Site Health debug information.
