# Connect Mistral Le Chat

**Auth:** bearer token. **Prereq:** familiar deployed over HTTPS (see [deployment](../deployment.md)).

Mistral's [chat.mistral.ai](https://chat.mistral.ai) supports remote MCP servers with a bearer token natively.

1. Open **Intelligence → Connectors → Add custom connector**.
2. **URL:** `https://familiar.yourdomain.tld/mcp` (include the `FAMILIAR_HTTP_PATH`, default `/mcp`).
3. **Authentication:** choose **Bearer Token** and paste your `FAMILIAR_HTTP_TOKEN`.
4. Save, then enable the connector in a conversation.

Ask Le Chat to call `ping`, or "compare Plex prices across trade hubs".

## Troubleshooting

- **401 / connector won't enable** — wrong or missing token; re-check the Bearer Token value.
- **Timeouts** — reverse-proxy buffering; set `proxy_buffering off;` and a long read timeout (see [deployment](../deployment.md#tls-reverse-proxy)).
