Build AI agents with the Mistral Agents API | Mistral AI

This post introduces the Mistral Agents API, a new framework for building AI agents. Key technical contributions include: built-in connectors for code execution (Python in a secure sandbox), image generation (via Black Forest Lab FLUX1.1), document library (for RAG), and web search (demonstrated accuracy improvements on SimpleQA benchmark). It also details the integration of Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools for accessing external systems. The API supports stateful conversations with structured history, conversation branching, and streaming output. Agent orchestration is enabled through agent handoffs, allowing for dynamic workflows where agents can delegate tasks to each other. Cookbook examples showcase practical applications with GitHub, Linear, and financial analysis.
