This plugin is not yet available in the Eliza plugin registry. To use Mistral models today, configure them through the [OpenRouter plugin](/plugin-registry/llm/openrouter) using the appropriate model ID.
</Warning>

The Mistral plugin connects Eliza agents to Mistral AI models, offering both open-weight and commercial models with competitive performance, especially for European languages and code generation.

> **On-demand plugin.** This plugin is resolved from the remote elizaOS plugin registry and auto-installs when its API key is detected. It is not included in Eliza's bundled `plugins.json` index.

**Package:** `@elizaos/plugin-mistral`

## Installation

## Auto-Enable

```

## Configuration
