Mistral AI

Add Cakewalk's MCP Gateway as a custom MCP connector in Le Chat by Mistral AI. Le Chat auto-detects OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration.

Le Chat reads remote MCP servers from custom connectors configured in your organization. Add Cakewalk's gateway once and it surfaces across your organization's Le Chat workspace.

Install Method

Custom form in Le Chat's Connectors panel. Le Chat auto-detects authentication via OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration, which Cakewalk's gateway supports out of the box.

Step 1: Open the Connectors Panel

1. Open Le Chat at https://chat.mistral.ai and sign in.

2. Open the toggle panel on the left.

3. Expand the Intelligence menu.

4. Click Connectors.

Step 2: Add the Cakewalk Gateway

1. Click + Add Connector.

2. In the directory popup, select the Custom MCP Connector tab.

3. Fill the form:

   • Connector name: Cakewalk (no spaces or special characters).

   • Connection server: https://mcp-gateway.getcakewalk.io/mcp

   • Description: optional, human readable.

   • Authentication method: leave on auto. Le Chat detects OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration from Cakewalk's discovery endpoints.

4. Click Connect.

Step 3: Authenticate

Le Chat opens the OAuth consent flow in your browser. Sign in with your Cakewalk account and approve the Connection. Le Chat stores the credentials on the organization's connector record.

Verifying It Works

In a Le Chat conversation, ask the model to list its available tools. The tools surfaced through the Cakewalk gateway appear in the response. In Cakewalk, the Mistral card on My Agents flips to Connected after the first agent call.

Account Requirements

All Le Chat Free, Pro, and Student account owners are Admin by default and can create connectors. Connectors appear in your organization's list of connections, ready for the team to enable.

Troubleshooting

• Authentication method does not auto-detect OAuth: the auto-detection probes Cakewalk's /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server discovery endpoint. If the probe fails (network filter, proxy), switch the dropdown to OAuth 2.1 manually.

• OAuth flow returns to an error page: copy the full callback URL from your browser's address bar and paste it back into the prompt at chat.mistral.ai.
