About mistralai

Mistral Python Client

Migrating from v1

If you are upgrading from v1 to v2, check the migration guide for details on breaking changes and how to update your code.

API Key Setup

Before you begin, you will need a Mistral AI API key.

Get your own Mistral API Key: <https://docs.mistral.ai/#api-access>
Set your Mistral API Key as an environment variable. You only need to do this once.

# set Mistral API Key (using zsh for example)
$ echo 'export MISTRAL_API_KEY=[your_key_here]' &gt;&gt; ~/.zshenv

# reload the environment (or just quit and open a new terminal)
$ source ~/.zshenv

AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Official Python client for the Mistral AI API, enabling synchronous and asynchronous chat completions, embeddings, file uploads, and agent interactions with Mistral's language models.

Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and eight well-established runtime dependencies (httpx, pydantic, opentelemetry-api, python-dateutil, and others). Active maintenance with a release on 2026-08-13 and 761 GitHub stars.

License treatment is unclear—no SPDX identifier or raw license text is declared in the package metadata, so the actual terms governing use and redistribution are not immediately verifiable from the fact sheet.

Usage

pip install mistralai

from mistralai.client import Mistral
import os

with Mistral(api_key=os.getenv("MISTRAL_API_KEY")) as mistral:
    res = mistral.chat.complete(
        model="mistral-large-latest",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
    )
    print(res)

Requires Python 3.10 or later; MISTRAL_API_KEY environment variable must be set with a valid Mistral AI API key.

Verdict: A well-maintained, actively developed official SDK for Mistral AI's API with low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. Suitable for production use, but the unclear license status warrants verification before adopting in proprietary or compliance-sensitive contexts.

Needs verification

What is the actual license governing mistralai 2.9.3? (SPDX and raw license text are both null in metadata)
Are there any undisclosed dependencies or system-level requirements beyond Python 3.10?
